I'm unsure as to what caused this for you without having logs to look at, but a general thing you could do to fix this would perhaps be to shutdown HBase, invoke the ZK CLI console via "hbase zkcli" and wipe the /hbase znode parent dir completely clean. Depending on your version of ZooKeeper deployed, you may either need to do a simple "rmr /hbase" in the ZK CLI console or do an individual "delete <znode>" of all available znodes under /hbase.
