Zookeeper is required for hbase, but if you are not setting up a fully distributed instance, you could rely on hbase to manage that for you

Is it required for a hbase installation? I followed installation instructions here http://hadoop.apache.org/hbase/docs/r0.19.3/api/overview-summary.html#ov erview_description, and do not see zookeeper mentioned anywhere. Thanks. -- tp
