Hola chicos estoy tratando de seguir elinicio rápido de HBase e iniciar un HBase en el sistema de archivos local (sin usar HDFS). Sin embargo, cuando inicio el shell utilizando ./hbase shell y escribo "status", ¿aparece el error Zookeeper?

hbase(main):001:0> status
14/01/07 12:44:48 ERROR zookeeper.RecoverableZooKeeper: ZooKeeper exists failed after 3 retries
14/01/07 12:44:48 WARN zookeeper.ZKUtil: hconnection Unable to set watcher on znode (/hbase/hbaseid)
org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$ConnectionLossException: KeeperErrorCode = ConnectionLoss for /hbase/hbaseid

//......... ect ..... 

Aquí está mi archivo de configuración (hbase-site.xml)

      <description>Comma separated list of servers in the ZooKeeper Quorum.
      For example, "host1.mydomain.com,host2.mydomain.com,host3.mydomain.com".
      By default this is set to localhost for local and pseudo-distributed modes
      of operation. For a fully-distributed setup, this should be set to a full
      list of ZooKeeper quorum servers. If HBASE_MANAGES_ZK is set in hbase-env.sh
      this is the list of servers which we will start/stop ZooKeeper on.
