Joydeep Sen Sarma commented on HBASE-2174:
------------------------------------------
yeah - hostnames are much more flexible. we can review what hdfs does - it
already works (for these reasons) in AWS (I was able to get my home pc to talk
directly to hdfs nodes inside AWS once).
hadoop also supports configurable hostname per machine (via conf file) (we saw
this when we were comparing the hbase and hadoop hostname related code).
there's probably some interesting use case for that as well.

> 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.
