/**
 * Demo that illustrates the HBase client API.
 * The demo program will insert values to " Column Family: Column qualifier" and then print these.
 *  pre-do : create a hbase table "test_table" with (CF:CI) which (" column family ", " column qualifier ")
 *  1. $ bin/hbase shell
 *  2. > create table test_table("CF");
 *  ok ! we can test it  
 *  3. > insert into test_table("CF:CI") values=("Hellow World") where row = "1";
 *  4. > select * from test_table;

 *  on the  structure , "Row" means Row ID which is a key to describe a column;
 *  Column means the database structure in test_table, 
 *  Column Family , "CF",  should be defined while creating table.
 *  Column qualifier , "CI" , can be added dynamically.
 *  Cell is the value of CF:CI
 * 
 *  that's the structure; then the demo program will show you in console as below :
