Is it necessary to add hadoop and hbase site xmls in the classpath of the
java client? Is there any other way we can configure it using general
properties file using key=value?

try copying files from hadoop in hbase to each other's conf directory.

There are two candidate:
1) You need to copy your Hadoop/HBase configuration such as
common-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml, or *hbase-site.xml *file from "etc" or
"conf" subdirectory of Hadoop/HBase installation directory into the Java
project directory. Then the configuration of Hadoop/HBase will be auto
loaded and the client can use directly.
2) Explicit set the configuration at your client code, such as:
conf = new Configuration();
  conf.set("fs.defaultFS","hdfs://192.168.12.132:9000/");

It's OK, Hadoop does not distinguish different configuration files of NN,
DN, client.
The distinct configuration of different role is identified by the prefix of
parameters such as dfs.namenode.*** and dfs.datanode.***.
