Description

When passing in a Zookeeper address upon instantiation of ZkHelixAdmin, a timeout is not set, and hence an invalid zookeeper address causes it to keep retrying indefinitely. As per discussion with Kishore, the fix is:

Fix is to change line 99 in ZkHelixAdmin.java _zkClient = new ZkClient(zkAddress); to _zkClient = new ZkClient(zkAddress, timeout* 1000);

Thank you
