Question

How can I get the size of a particular HBase table from HBase shell?

Data present on the hdfs in directory

hdfs dfs -ls  /hbase/data/

Size of table on the HDFS

hdfs dfs -du -h  /hbase/data/<UserName>

For Finding Number of Rows in a particular table

hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.RowCounter 'tableName'

counter can be verified from 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.RowCounter$RowCounterMapper$Counters

OR counter from the Hbase shell
hbase(main):001:0> count 'tablename'

Just look into the HBase Documentation

count 'tablename', INTERVAL => 100000
