title: HBase fails to start master (can't connect to zookeeper)
body: <p>i'm using hbase on a local machine and run it in standalone mode (so not distribuited or pseudo-d. mode) but when i try to start hbase after few seconds crashes because it can't start correctly zookeeper.</p>
  
  <p>i downloaded this version of hbase : <a href="http://it.apache.contactlab.it/hbase/stable/" rel="nofollow">hbase</a>
  did the untar and started with ./start-hbase.sh (after the configuration)</p>
  
  <p>this is the log : <a href="http://pastebin.com/2XendXwm" rel="nofollow">log hbase</a> </p>
  
  <p>then in <strong>hbase-site.xml</strong> i have : </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;configuration&gt;
  
  &lt;property&gt;
      &lt;name&gt;hbase.rootdir&lt;/name&gt;
      &lt;value&gt;file:///home/raff0z/Scaricati/hbase/hbDATA/&lt;/value&gt;
  &lt;/property&gt;
  
  &lt;/configuration&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in <strong>hbase-env.sh</strong> there is :</p>
  
  <pre><code>export HBASE_MANAGES_ZK=true
  </code></pre>
