HBase not connecting to ZooKeeper

See more:

hadoop

I am struggling for getting my HBase shell running. It throws me the above exception in subject line. I have checked that hbase-site.xml matches perfectly with hadoop one.

Please help. I am struggling for 2 days and have a project due. I am attaching the two xml files of hadoop and hbase.

hbase-site.xml
