Even in standalone it does need ZK's functionality, so the master runs it inside its JVM (same for the region server). In your case it seems like port 2181 is already taken by something else. Either change the other service's port, or set hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort to 2182 in conf/hbase-site.xml
