-------------------------------------------
Summary: Recommend consistent host identification
Key: ACCUMULO-3872
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3872
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Task
Components: docs
Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
Fix For: 1.8.0
ACCUMULO-3216 revealed a problem with users mixing and matching host
identification schemes. Users should be careful to identify hosts consistently.
We should make this recommendation in the user manual indicating a preference
for DNS/hostnames over IP addresses (because it's easier to make configuration
changes and is required for Kerberos-enabled Hadoop, and in general is more
robust).
We could also add a one-time warning during {{accumulo init}} or when services
are started if we see an IP address in the configuration rather than a
hostname, just to make sure users are aware of potential pitfalls.
