Description

I've a script that starts hbase and a couple of region servers in distributed mode (hbase.cluster.distributed = true)

$HBASE_HOME/bin/start-hbase.sh
$HBASE_HOME/bin/local-regionservers.sh start 1 2 3

but the region servers are not able to start...
It seems that during the RS start the the znode is still not available, and HRegionServer.initializeZooKeeper() check just once if the base not is available.
