Karthik Ranganathan commented on HBASE-2174: -------------------------------------------- @Joydeep/Ryan - good point about EC2. They expose a different IP to the outside world (elastic IP) which is different from the actual machine ip's. We should definitely stick to hostnames. I guess we should just stop the master from resolving each time and take what the client says its hostname-ip pair is as the truth. Zookeeper currently stores the ip of the root region server - not sure if thats an issue. > Review how we handle addresses in HBase > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2174 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2174 > Project: Hadoop HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jean-Daniel Cryans > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > > 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.
