node-hbase example. library is documented in http://www.adaltas.com/projects/node-hbase/ but I found it later. I personally tried hbase with curl and this node-hbase(with inspecting src)

main.coffee

util = require 'util'
hbase = require 'hbase'

inspect = (obj) -> util.inspect(obj, { colors: true, depth: null })
debug = (err, res) -> console.log err? && err || inspect(res)

client = hbase {
  host: '--some-host--'
  port: --some-port-number--
}

# client.getVersion (err, res) -> console.log err || res
# client.getVersionCluster (err, res) -> console.log err || res
# client.getStatusCluster (err, res) -> console.log err || inspect(res)
# client.getTables debug

# client.getTables (err, tables) ->
#   throw err if err?
#   for table_info in tables
#     table = client.getTable(table_info.name)
#     table.getSchema debug

table = client.getTable('parsed_log')
# table.getSchema debug
# table.getRegions debug

scanner = table.getScanner()
scanner.create { batch: 25 }, (err, scan) ->
  debug(err, scan)

  console.log scanner.id

  console.log 'start'
  scanner.get (err, cells) ->
    console.log 'here'
    debug(err, cells)
    return @delete() unless cells
    @continue()
