ryan rawson commented on HBASE-2174:
------------------------------------

im wondering if we should do something radical and flexible in this area...

right now if we use IP address, we can make it hard for clients to talk to 
hbase, since if their knowledge of hbase's IP and the one HBase uses are 
different, then bam.  Think: ec2 internal/external addresses.

Maybe it makes sense to always use symbolic names and resolve them at the 
client when they need to make RPC calls?

> Over the time many parts of the code have evolved in different ways and one 
> issue is that addresses are handled differently in different parts of the 
> code. We need to set a standard and correct any inconsistencies.
