Hi,

I have tried to use the 'big hammer' before, here are my steps (it is not 
recommended and you should have your HBase and ZK shut down first):

### shut down ZM and HBase 
1) for each ZK node:
su                                                      // login as root
cd $ZOOKEEPER_HOME               
cp data/myid myid                       // backup existing myid file to 
ZooKeeper's home folder
rm data/* -Rf
rm dadalog/* -Rf
mkdir -p data
mkdir -p datalog
cp myid data/myid                       // restore the myid backup so no need 
to recreate myid again

2) for each ZK node:
(start ZK )

3) finally 
(start HBase)

By clearing data and datalog, you should have a very clean ZooKeeper. 
Hope these help and good luck.
Thanks
ac
