Description

I took the overview.html to fix a few links but when I saw it I did a complete overhaul:

• Extended the Table of Contents
• Made lists/indentation consistent (HTML)
• Fixed links
• Converted <i> to <em> (one instance of <emph> to <em>)
• Consistently used <blockquote><pre> around all examples
• Consistently used single spacing at the end of sentences (mixed before)
• Consistently used <p> tags
• Consistently used "HBase" (as opposed to "hbase"), NameNode, DataNode and similar names
• This validates as HTML 4.01 without errors and warnings (17 Errors, 2 warning(s) before).

There were a few misleading sentences or stuff I didn't understand but as I have very little experience with HBase I chose not to change any of the content itself. A bit more explanation about ZooKeeper would be nice. I just can't find any information what is stored in ZK. I hope this patch is useful nonetheless.
