Description

It's not possible to increase the ZooKeeper session timeout in standalone HBase due to a hardcoded 10s timeout in HMasterCommandLine:

https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/0.98/hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/master/HMasterCommandLine.java#L176

In trunk you can append .localHBaseCluster to the ZK session timeout property name to change the timeout:

https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/master/hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/master/HMasterCommandLine.java#L169-171

We should allow changing the timeout in 0.98 and other versions where it's not possible to do so.
