I believe having the hostname change case will still break Spark. But after a
search of the dev and user mailing lists over the past year I haven't seen any
other users with this issue.
A potential fix could be to call .toLower on the hostname in the Akka string
across the cluster, but it's a little dirty to make this assumption everywhere.
Technically [hostnames ARE case
insensitive|http://serverfault.com/questions/261341/is-the-hostname-case-sensitive]
so Spark's behavior is wrong, but the issue is in the underlying Akka library.
This is the same underlying behavior where Akka requires that hostnames
exactly match as well -- you can't use an IP address to refer to a Akka
listening on a hostname -- SPARK-625.
Until Akka handles differently-cased hostnames I think can only be done with an
ugly workaround.
Possibly relevant Akka issues:
- https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/15990
- https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/15007
My preference would be to close this as "Won't Fix" until it's raised again as
a problem from the community.

> Akka system names need to be normalized (since they are case-sensitive)
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: SPARK-632
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-632

> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Matt Massie
>
> The "system" name of the Akka full path is case-sensitive (see
> http://akka.io/faq/#what_is_the_name_of_a_remote_actor).
> Since DNS names are case-insensitive and we're using them in the "system"
> name, we need to normalize them (e.g. make them all lowercase). Otherwise,
> users will find the "workers" will not be able to connect with the "master"
> even though the URI appears to be correct.
> For example, Berkeley DNS occasionally uses names e.g. foo.Berkley.EDU. If I
> used foo.berkeley.edu as the master adddress, the workers would write to
> their logs that they are connecting to foo.berkeley.edu but failed to. They
> never show up in the master UI. If use the foo.Berkeley.EDU address,
> everything works as it should.
