Specifying an external Zookeeper when launching a Hadoop or HBase cluster?

Currently, it looks like there are no configuration parameters for specifying a preexisting Zookeeper when launching a Hadoop or HBase cluster; instead, each cluster starts its own Zookeeper. Is there any way to specify an external Zookeeper?

You can do this by overriding configure_hbase.sh: create a folder
named functions in WHIRR_HOME, copy the file from
services/hbase/src/main/resources/functions and change it to fit your
needs (set a value for hbase.zookeeper.quorum).
