Hi,

Can we update a particular record in hbase? If we can pls help in sharing the command.

HTable is the usual java interface to interact with a table in HBase.  You
can see the api for that here:
http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/client/HBaseAdmin.html

The Ref guide has a more comprehensive overview of the client here:
http://hbase.apache.org/book/client.html

You can use the shell too
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/Shell

Update is again a put. Incase of multiple version support the older values
could be retained.
