Hi Michael,

I was having a similar problem and following this thread for any
suggestions. I tried everything suggested and more.

I was trying to run Hadoop/Hbase pseudo distributed version on my Mac. I
initially started with Hadoop 21.0 and Hbase 0.89 versions. I had exactly
the same error that you were getting. Then switched to Hadoop 20.2 and Hbase
20.6 - still HMaster was not starting. Then finally it worked. Below are my
steps to success :)

* stopped hbase
* stopped hadoop
* run jps; RegionServer was still running; killed it manually
* in tmp directory (where hadoop namenode and *.pid files are stored) I
removed everything related to hadoop and hbase, including the directories.
(I had no data in Hadoop, so I could do this)
* changed the ports back to default 600**
* changed back Hadoop and Hbase configurations to "localhost" in *site*.xml
and regionservers. (Only I will be using this - no remote connection)
* changed back my /etc/hosts to the original version. It looks like this:
127.0.0.1    localhost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0    localhost
* reformatted the Hadoop namenode
* started Hadoop
* started HBase and it worked :)

Let me know if you want to know any specific configuration.
