Description

When the master fails to start becahse hbase.master.port is already taken, the log messages could make it easier to tell.

I recognize that the "RSRpcServices" log message shows port 16000, but I don't know why a new operator would. Additionally, it'd be nice to tell them that the port is controlled by hbase.master.port. Maybe give a hint on how to see what's using the port. Could be too os-dist specific?
