------------------------------

             Summary: Better error message when HttpServer fails to start due to java.net.BindException
                 Key: HBASE-10200
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10200
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Ted Yu
            Priority: Minor


Starting HBase using Hoya, I saw the following in log:
{code}
2013-12-17 21:49:06,758 INFO  [master:hor12n19:42587] http.HttpServer: HttpServer.start() threw a non Bind IOException

{code}
This was due to hbase.master.info.bindAddress giving static address but Hoya allocates master dynamically.

Better error message should be provided: when bindAddress points another host than local host, message should remind user to remove / adjust hbase.master.info.bindAddress config param from hbase-site.xml
