It might be Ambari issue sometime in updating the actual status, can you please login to HBase shell and check the status.

You should get something like this:

hbase(main):002:0> status
1 active master, 1 backup masters, 4 servers, 0 dead, 281.0000 average load
hbase(main):003:0>

The stats about '0 regions per RegionServer' as seen in Ambari indicates that the HMaster might be waiting on completing its initialization since region assignments for namespace and meta tables are still in progress.

You may want to restart the complete HBase service again to check, and/or run 'tail -f' on the HMaster and RegionServer logs to find the current on going activities on them. Another place to look for information is the HBase Master UI - use the 'Quick Links' from the hbase service page to native to that.
