We also figured that you MUST set the maxSessionTimeout to the same value when using a stand alone ZooKeeper ensemble. The managed is fine, but the stand alone without that extra option in the zoo.cfg will negotiate the timeout to be a maximum of 20 x tickTime, so 40-60 seconds. In that case the 3 minutes value set in the hbase-default.xml is useless.
