Duo Xu updated HBASE-18226:
---------------------------
    Description: 
Description updated:

In some unusual network environment, forward DNS lookup is supported while 
reverse DNS lookup may not work properly.

This JIRA is to address that HMaster uses the hostname passed from RS instead 
of doing reverse DNS lookup to tells RS which hostname to use during . This has 
already been implemented by HBASE-12954 by adding "useThisHostnameInstead" 
field in RegionServerStatusProtos.

Currently "useThisHostnameInstead" is optional and RS by default only passes 
port, server start code and server current time info to HMaster during 
reportForDuty(). In order to use this field, users currently need to specify 
"hbase.regionserver.hostname" on every regionserver node's hbase-site.xml. This 
causes some trouble for

1. some deployments managed by some management tools like Ambari, which 
maintains the same copy of hbase-site.xml across all the nodes.

2. HBASE-12954 is targeting multihomed hosts, which users want to manually set 
the hostname value for each node. In normal cases, I just want RS to use the 
hostname return by the node OS system and set it in useThisHostnameInstead and 
pass to HMaster. 

I would like to introduce a setting that if the setting is set to true, 
"useThisHostnameInstead" will be set to the hostname RS gets from the node OS 
system. Then HMaster will skip reverse DNS lookup because it sees 
"useThisHostnameInstead" field is set in the request.

"hbase.regionserver.report.hostname.to.master", is it a good name?
