I'm with Kevin on this one. Host discovery via unicast round-robin DNS would be useful in the numerous scenarios where multicast is less desirable, and I frankly see no reason for ElasticSearch not to support this. It is simple, convenient, predictable, widely supported, very manageable and well-behaved functionality. One could always get the full array of A records and consider it a list of nodes. I'm not much of a java developer, but I expect this could also be done via a plugin through the existing API? -- Roy Olsen Lead DBA, Xait -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
