If you are running HBase and commands are giving you an error that looks like this:

Your HBase master is failing to start because Zookeeper is giving it an incorrect location for where the -ROOT- table is located. If you go into the HBase webui, you’ll see “Assigning ROOT region” as the status of the master node on startup.
To fix this:
$ hbase zkcli
zookeeper_cli> rmr /hbase/root-region-server
Then restart your master node, and you should be fine.
