Mark Robert Miller updated HBASE-23796: --------------------------------------- Priority: Minor (was: Major) > Consider using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost and binding to 127.0.0.1 as > well. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-23796 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23796 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Test > Reporter: Mark Robert Miller > Priority: Minor > > This is perhaps controversial, but there are a variety of problems with > counting on dns hostname resolution, especially for locahost. > > # It can often be slow, slow under concurrency, or slow under specific > conditions. > # It can often not work at all - when on a VPN, with weird DNS hijacking > hi-jinks, when you have a real hostname for you machines, a custom /etc/hosts > file, OS's run their own local/funny DNS server services. > # This makes coming to HBase for new devs a hit or miss experience and if > you miss, dealing with an diagnosing the issues is a large endeavor and not > straight forward or transparent. > # 99% of the difference doesn't matter in most cases - except that > 127.0.0.1 works and is fast pretty much universally. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
