John Vines updated ACCUMULO-220:
--------------------------------
Description: I have strong reason to believe that the mechanism we have in
place for grabbing the IP address for a hostname does not work for hostnames
defined in the hosts file. That is, I believe it will only hit against DNS for
doing the name->IP lookup for the provided server name. This needs to be tested
and, if validated, updated to check both DNS and the hosts file. (was:
Currently the services depend on INetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress() to
determine a nodes IP Address. This works well, unless your running a node which
spans different networks. This can create undesirable network traversal,
depending on how your network is setup. We do not want to complicate things by
increasing the work to get running, but we should see about providing an
optional setting to have services attempt to identify as a user specified IP
before defaulting to getHostAddress().)
Summary: Update mechanism for services to define which IP address to
use (was: Provide mechanism for services to define which IP address to use)
