Question

I am looking for a command which describes the columnfamily inside the table from the HBase Shell. I could not get any command to try this.

Answer 1

I found this answer and added some modifications to it:

it list all column family for each Cqualifier
  echo "scan 'yourTable', {'LIMIT' => 1} " | $HBASE_HOME/bin/hbase shell | awk -F'=' '{print $2}' | awk -F ':' '{print $1}'|awk -F ',' '{print $1}'
