Description

The quickstart chapter on launching a standalone hbase says to validate the launch by checking on both the HMaster and HRegionServer processes:

4. The bin/start-hbase.sh script is provided as a convenient way to start HBase. Issue the command, and if all goes well, a message is logged to standard output showing that HBase started successfully. You can use the jps command to verify that you have one running process called HMaster and at least one called HRegionServer.

This is incorrect. In standalone mode there is only a single HMaster process.
