Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HTRACE-147:
---------------------------------------------

I guess the challenge here is that nodes can have multiple network interfaces, 
each interface can have multiple IP addresses, and each IP address can have 
multiple hostnames.  In the general case we're lost, and we just have to ask 
the admin to manually configure what each node should be called via the XML 
file.  But there is probably a useful solution that works for 99% of the 
single-homed setups out there.

I also wonder if we should coordinate this with the IP addresses choosing code 
in ProcessId.java, so that the hostname we give back is a valid hostname for 
the IP address we give back.  Seems smart, I hope there's a nice way to do it 
in Java.
