How to connect to remote HBase in Java?

Question

I have a standlone HBase server. This is my hbase-site.xml:

<configuration>
 <property>
    <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
    <value>file:///hbase_data</value>
  </property>
</configuration>

I am trying to write a Java program to manipulate the data in the HBase.

If I run the program on the HBase server, it works fine. But I don't know how to config it for remote access.

  Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
   HTable table = new HTable(config, "test");
   Scan s = new Scan();

I have tried adding IP and Port, it doesn't work:

config.set("hbase.master", "146.169.35.28:60000")

Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks!

Here's a snippet from a system we use to create an HTable we use to connect to HBase

Configuration hConf = HBaseConfiguration.create(conf);
hConf.set(Constants.HBASE_CONFIGURATION_ZOOKEEPER_QUORUM, hbaseZookeeperQuorum);
hConf.setInt(Constants.HBASE_CONFIGURATION_ZOOKEEPER_CLIENTPORT, hbaseZookeeperClientPort);

HTable hTable = new HTable(hConf, tableName);

EDIT: Example Values:

public static final String HBASE_CONFIGURATION_ZOOKEEPER_QUORUM                     = "hbase.zookeeper.quorum";
public static final String HBASE_CONFIGURATION_ZOOKEEPER_CLIENTPORT                 = "hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort";
...
hbaseZookeeperQuorum="PDHadoop1.corp.CompanyName.com,PDHadoop2.corp.CompanyName.com";
hbaseZookeeperClientPort=10000;
tableName="HBaseTableName";
