Andy Grove commented on CURATOR-40: ----------------------------------- Thanks. I have filed this as ZOOKEEPER-1734. > Curator client cannot connect after one zookeeper host shuts down on EC2 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CURATOR-40 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CURATOR-40 > Project: Apache Curator > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Client > Affects Versions: 2.0.1-incubating > Environment: Ubuntu instances on Amazon EC2 using DNS host names > Reporter: Andy Grove > Attachments: ApacheCuratorUnknownHostTest.java > > > We use DNS names on Amazon EC2 to specify Zookeeper host names. If one of the > ZK hosts shuts down or loses network connectivity we can no longer connect > via Curator, even though the other ZK hosts are still running and have > quorum. The issue is specific to an UnknownHostException being thrown on DNS > resolution when calling the start() method on CuratorZookeeperClient. The > workaround is for us to use IP addresses rather than DNS names, but this > isn't really workable on EC2 since IP addresses change when servers restart > so we use Elastic IPs to ensure that the ZK hosts have fixed IP addresses. > I have attached a unit test which demonstrates the issue and provides more > detail in the comments. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
