Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-8043:
--------------------------------------------
The NN & DN seed the HttpServer with the hostname from InetSocketAddress
(obtained from config and NetUtils), that hostname should be used for the _HOST
resolution. Then things would be autoconf in the same way than the principals
for RPC.
