Improve zk node naming (/hbase/shutdown)
----------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-4451
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4451
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: master
    Affects Versions: 0.94.0
            Reporter: Harsh J
            Assignee: Harsh J
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.94.0


Right now the node {{/hbase/shutdown}} is used to indicate cluster status 
(cluster up, cluster down).

However, upon a chat with Lars George today, we feel that having a name 
{{/hbase/shutdown}} is possibly bad. The {{/hbase/shutdown}} zknode contains a 
date when the cluster was _started_. Now that is difficult to understand and 
digest, given that a person may connect to zk and try to look at what it is 
about (they may think it 'shutdown' at that date.).

I feel a better name may simply be: {{/hbase/running}}. Thoughts?
