Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-2821:
-------------------------------------
I think most other endpoints are not affected by the same problems as the Akka
endpoint, because they do not perform an exact string compare on the endpoint's
URI.
Canonicalizing host names in general and everywhere actually makes sense
nonetheless. I would say we should do that in the next release.
> Change Akka configuration to allow accessing actors from different URLs

> Key: FLINK-2821
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2821
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Distributed Coordination
> Reporter: Robert Metzger
> Assignee: Maximilian Michels
> Fix For: 1.2.0
>
>
> Akka expects the actor's URL to be exactly matching.
> As pointed out here, cases where users were complaining about this:
> http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Error-trying-to-access-JM-through-proxy-td3018.html
> - Proxy routing (as described here, send to the proxy URL, receiver
> recognizes only original URL)
> - Using hostname / IP interchangeably does not work (we solved this by
> always putting IP addresses into URLs, never hostnames)
> - Binding to multiple interfaces (any local 0.0.0.0) does not work. Still
> no solution to that (but seems not too much of a restriction)
> I am aware that this is not possible due to Akka, so it is actually not a
> Flink bug. But I think we should track the resolution of the issue here
> anyways because its affecting our user's satisfaction.
