Best would be use Httpclient to access rest api. here is a sample curl which uses REST API to access.
curl -u admin:$password \
-X PUT "https://$clustername.azurehdinsight.net/hbaserest/Contacts1/schema" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"@DeezNutz \":\"Contact1\",\"ColumnSchema\":[{\"name\":\"Personal\"},{\"name\":\"Office\"}]}" \
-
v
https://clustername.azurehdinsight.net/hbaserest/Contacts1/schema
Contact1 is the Family.
