Hi Bharath! Depending if you want to get the families names only or the combination family + qualifier there are different ways of doing this. If you just want the family names, you can do as Tim suggested getTableDescriptor().getFamilies(). But if you want to get all the columns(Family + qualifier) there is no other way of doing this at the moment, but to do a full scan of that table. We have been talking about making some extra counter calls, might be able to work this call in there too.
Regards Erik
