Hi Scratch28,   Where you able to connect to phoenix from your local machine? I have the Phonenix 4.2 on CDH 5.3.1 same as yourself but I'm having a problem described here. I've read here that there is an issue on AWS where internal and external IPs were get confused and zookeeper can't connect to HBase properly?    https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Storage-Random-Access-HDFS/Apache-phoenix-cloudera-cluster-phoenix-client-zookeeper-error/m-p/25186#U25186   Thanks J   ...
