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

For this issue can be used Leader Election algorithm   http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/r3.0.1/recipes.html#sc_leaderElection

1) Create a znode for master election if it not exists:
      create("master-election", new byte[0], PERSISTENT);
if node exits, catch NodeExistsException and keep going

2) create("master-election/master-", new byte[0], EPHEMERAL_SEQUENTIAL);
     //in a data can be stored some information about master (it's location or session ID)
3) getChildren("master-election", false);
    if there is only one child (that was just created) then master becomes ACTIVE;
4) else 
    let j be smallest SEQUENTIAL number for master nodes
5) exists("master-election/master-" + j, true);
if exists go to 3
else
become a "hot-ready" master wait till EVENT (triggering of watch)
fi event goto 3

      was (Author: apparition):
    For this issue can be used Ephemeral ZNode created by HMaster.

HMaster can use following algorithm for enshuring:

1) after establishing connection to ZK:
     exists(masterZNode, false);
2.1) if NOT exists:
     create(masterZNode, "Master is connected!",EPHEMERAL);
     END;
2.2)  if exists:
     Master is already connected to ZK! 
     close connection;  exit Master with fail
