paul cannon commented on CASSANDRA-2238:
----------------------------------------
It might be nontrivial- it depends on what we define as the hostname for a
node: the node's own OS {{hostname}} output, or some other lookup (DNS, NSS,
etc) of each node IP from the system running nodetool? The former makes more
sense, but the only way I could identify to accomplish it, last time I tried,
was to query the {{Name}} attribute of {{java.lang:type=Runtime}}, and depend
on it always containing the local hostname after the @ sign. I have no idea
whether that's a valid thing to depend on, and it seems a little bit
excessively ghetto for something like nodetool.
The right solution would probably be adding a jmx attribute exposing the "real"
node name.
If instead this ticket is asking for reverse DNS lookups or something, then I'm
-1 on the whole thing.
