I've seen a similar message in cygwin after upgrading to hbase 0.20. I believe that start-hbase.sh uses ZKServerTool to get the zookeeper hosts from the conf file. However, on windows or cygwin, it returns hosts with a newline as part of the name. As a result, start-hbase tries to ssh to "hostname\n" or so, and windows fails. I have a colleague who tried it on Windows 7 (64-bit) and I think it worked after he disabled IPv6. Perhaps with IPv6, windows is stricter about the name and can't handle the white space. Even with Windows XP, though, since hbase 0.20 I've had to keep a known_hosts file with an entry containing a newline to match what start-hbase gets from ZKServerTool.
