kishore gopalakrishna commented on HELIX-73:
--------------------------------------------
+1 on splitting the change into two phases.
part 1, why do we need to make host and port to be set explicitly, instead can
we not have a default value host:unknown port:-1. Theoretically only value
Helix cares is the id which is mandatory.
For step 2, lets try to continue the discussion in helix-19.
> Remove assumption that Instance.id is always host_port
> ------------------------------------------------------

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: helix-core
> Affects Versions: 0.6.0-incubating

> Currently, some parts of Helix make an assumption that the id of an Instance
> is always made up of a combination of host and port. Can this assumption be
> eliminated? If so, I can work on providing a patch that fixes this issue.
