# Apache HBase APIs > 贡献者：[xixici](https://github.com/xixici) 本章节提供有关使用基础 HBase API 执行操作的方法。 此方法并非详尽无遗，快速参考 [User API Reference](https://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/index.html)。 此处的示例不全面，仅用于说明目的。 Apache HBase 也拥有多种外部 APIs. 详见:[Apache HBase External APIs](#external_apis) ## 96\. 例子 Example 25\. 使用 Java 创建.修改和删除表 ``` package com.example.hbase.admin; import java.io.IOException; import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration; import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path; import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HBaseConfiguration; import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HColumnDescriptor; import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HConstants; import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.HTableDescriptor; import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableName; import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Admin; import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Connection; import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.ConnectionFactory; import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.compress.Compression.Algorithm; public class Example { private static final String TABLE_NAME = "MY_TABLE_NAME_TOO"; private static final String CF_DEFAULT = "DEFAULT_COLUMN_FAMILY"; public static void createOrOverwrite(Admin admin, HTableDescriptor table) throws IOException { if (admin.tableExists(table.getTableName())) { admin.disableTable(table.getTableName()); admin.deleteTable(table.getTableName()); } admin.createTable(table); } public static void createSchemaTables(Configuration config) throws IOException { try (Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(config); Admin admin = connection.getAdmin()) { HTableDescriptor table = new HTableDescriptor(TableName.valueOf(TABLE_NAME)); table.addFamily(new HColumnDescriptor(CF_DEFAULT).setCompressionType(Algorithm.NONE)); System.out.print("Creating table.
