When you create an HBase data object, you can select an HBase table and view all the column families in the table. You can specify the column names in the column family if you know the column name and data type, or you can search the rows in the HBase table and specify the columns.

You can write to a column family or to a single binary column. When you create the data object, specify the column families to which you can write or choose to write all the data as a single stream of binary data.
