Duo Xu updated HBASE-18226:
---------------------------
Release Note:
The following config is added by this JIRA:
hbase.regionserver.hostname.disable.master.reversedns
This config is for experts: don't set its value unless you really know what you
are doing.
When set to true, regionserver will use the current node hostname for the
servername and HMaster will skip reverse DNS lookup and use the hostname sent
by regionserver instead. Note that this config and hbase.regionserver.hostname
are mutually exclusive. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18226
for more details.
Caution: please make sure rolling upgrade succeeds before turning on this
feature.
Update the release note.
> Disable reverse DNS lookup at HMaster and use the hostname provided by
> RegionServer

> 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
> reportForDuty() . 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 RS
> 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 in
> 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 the other cases (not multihomed), I
> just want RS to use the hostname return by the node and set it in
> useThisHostnameInstead and pass to HMaster during reportForDuty().
> 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.
> Then HMaster will skip reverse DNS lookup because it sees
> "useThisHostnameInstead" field is set in the request.
> "hbase.regionserver.hostname.reported.to.master", is it a good name?
> --------------------
> Regarding the hostname returned by the RS node, I read the source code again
> (including hadoop-common dns.java). By default RS gets hostname by calling
> InetAddress.getLocalHost().getCanonicalHostName(). If users specify
> "hbase.regionserver.dns.interface" or "hbase.regionserver.dns.nameserver" or
> some underlying system configuration changes (eg. modifying
> /etc/nsswitch.conf), it may first read from DNS or other sources instead of
> first checking /etc/hosts file.
