Hi Alex, You will need to add your client IP address (or - but not really recommmended - 0.0.0.0/0 for the world) into the Security Group that you used to start the cluster on EC2 and allow TCP access to a few ports that the client needs to communicate with HBase. For starters 2181 which is the ZooKeeper client port. Next is 60000, the master port plus 60020 for the RegionServers. Try those first and let us know if it works.
