Its both the fqdn or internal ip address.  Either way,,,,same issue riak
refuses to work with ip address or fqdn....and I dont know why.



on bash page the recommend using fqdn which adds to tbhe confusion


http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/building/basic-cluster-setup/

*Node Names*

Use fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) rather than IP addresses for the
cluster member node names. For example, “[email protected]” and “
[email protected]” are both acceptable node naming schemes, but using the
FQDN style is preferred.

Once a node has been started, in order to change the name you must either
remove ring files from the data directory, riak-admin
reip<http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/running/tools/riak-admin/#reip>the
node, or riak-admin
cluster 
force-replace<http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/running/tools/riak-admin/#cluster-force-replace>the
node.
