------------------------------------
Summary: [WINDOWS] Multicast should bind to local address
Key: HBASE-9961
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9961
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Client
Reporter: Enis Soztutar
Assignee: Enis Soztutar
Fix For: 0.98.0, 0.96.1
Binding to a multicast address (such as "hbase.status.multicast.address.ip")
seems to be the preferred method on most unix systems and linux(2,3). At least
in RedHat, binding to multicast address might not filter out other traffic
coming to the same port, but for different multi cast groups (2)]. However, on
windows, you cannot bind to a non local (class D) address (1), which seems to
be correct according to the spec.

The solution is to bind to mcast address on linux, but a local address on
windows.
TestHCM is also failing because of this.
