HBase Data Existence Check Using Get

In HBase, you can determine if user data exists by using the Get operation. Get operation is used to retrieve data from an HBase table, and will return the corresponding data if it exists or an empty result if it does not.

Here is a simple example demonstrating how to use the Get operation to determine if user data exists:

import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseConfiguration;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Connection;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Get;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Result;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Table;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes;

public class CheckDataExistence {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
        Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(config);
        Table table = connection.getTable(TableName.valueOf("your_table_name"));

        Get get = new Get(Bytes.toBytes("your_row_key"));
        Result result = table.get(get);

        if (!result.isEmpty()) {
            System.out.println("Data exists for the specified row key");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Data does not exist for the specified row key");
        }

        table.close();
        connection.close();
    }
}

In the example above, first a HBase configuration object and connection object are created, then a Table object for a specific table is retrieved. Next, a Get object is created to specify the row key to be checked. The Get operation is performed by calling table.get(get) method and the result is stored in a Result object. Finally, the existence of data is determined by checking if the Result object is empty.

Please note that the above examples are for demonstration purposes only, and the actual situation may be adjusted and optimized according to specific needs.
