Unable to connect local scala app with Hbase running in docker - docker

Question

I have spent the entire day trying to figure out why my sscala app running on windows is unable to make a successful connection with hbase running in a docker container.
I can shell into the container and run the hbase shell, create tables etc
Also I can port forward to localhost:16010 and see the Hbase UI. Some additional details of the setup as follows.
Env:
Scala app: Windows (host)
Hbase: docker container
Docker container details
FROM openjdk:8
ENV HBASE_VERSION=2.4.12
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y netcat
RUN mkdir -p /var/hbase && \
cd /opt && \
wget -q https://archive.apache.org/dist/hbase/${HBASE_VERSION}/hbase-${HBASE_VERSION}-bin.tar.gz && \
tar xzf hbase-${HBASE_VERSION}-bin.tar.gz
WORKDIR /opt/hbase-${HBASE_VERSION}
COPY hbase-site.xml conf
CMD ./bin/start-hbase.sh && tail -F logs/hbase*.log
hbase-site.xml -> hbase.cluster.distributed & hbase.unsafe.stream.capability.enforce set to false
The hbase container is up and running and accesible. Also confirmed zookeeper is reachable within the container as well as from the host using echo ruok | nc localhost 2181; echo
Running container as follows:
docker run -it -p 2181:2181 -p 2888:2888 -p 3888:3888 -p 16010:16010 -p 16000:16000 -p 16020:16020 -p 16030:16030 -p 8080:8080 -h hbb hbase-1
Scala app
val conf : Configuration = HBaseConfiguration.create()
conf.set("hbase.zookeeper.quorum", "hbb")
conf.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort", "2181")
conf.set("hbase.master", "hbb")
conf.set("hbase.cluster.distributed","false")
// conf.set("hbase.client.pause", "1000")
// conf.set("hbase.client.retries.number", "2")
// conf.set("zookeeper.recovery.retry", "1")
val connection = ConnectionFactory.createConnection(conf)
The part of the stack trace

I have tried changing the hbase.zookeeper.quorum & master props on the client side to localhost / 127.0.0.1 as well as changing the etc/hosts file with the container id. No luck yet
Would greatly appreciate some guidance on this :)
