Not sure what you are asking but if you want to know the size of a store file, you can use this method,
https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/trunk/hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/StoreFile.java#L1440 One such usage is here, https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/trunk/hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/compactions/RatioBasedCompactionPolicy.java#L292 It gets the sizes of all the store files, I believe thats what you are asking!
