I was reviewing the Riak Operations webinar<http://blog.basho.com/2011/04/15/follow-up-to-riak-operations-webinar/>, and it was mentioned that the preferred vm.args -name for EC2 environments should be "riak@hostname" because you don't have to "rename data or do anything weird" like you would if your nodes were named "[email protected]" (approximately 40:05 in the video).
I was looking for some elaboration on this tip, namely: 1. What is meant by "rename data or do anything weird" 2. Is "hostname" in riak@hostname a public DNS host that you configure in your DNS to map to the EC2 public hostname (ec2-50-18-...)? 3. Does anyone have any best practices around vm.args -name in EC2 environments? Thanks!
