I am trying to start HBase in distributed mode on EC2. HBase is not
starting properly and it seems to be caused by Zookeeper not being able to
elect a leader.
We are using an HBase-managed Zookeeper. There is one ZK on each of 3
regionservers.
I didn't change any default ports.
The following error keeps repeating in the logs:
2009-07-22 00:41:53,940 INFO
org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.LeaderElection: Server address:
domU-43-31-49-02-E8-L2.compute-1.internal/10.244.229.1:2888

I did a netstat -a -n | grep LISTEN and there is nothing listening on port
2888 on any server which probably explains why the QuorumPeer can't
connect. Is there supposed to be something listnening on 2888? Any ideas
on how to fix this? Thanks.
