>                 Key: SOLR-7884
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7884
>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 5.2.1
>            Reporter: Robert Krüger

> The method SystemInfoHandler.init contains this code:
> {code:java}
>   try {
>       InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
>       hostname = addr.getCanonicalHostName();
>     } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
>       //default to null
>     }
>   }
> {code}
> The call to getCanonicalHostName triggers a DNS reverse lookup, that on Mac 
> OSX times out after 30 seconds if the current network setup has a problem 
> with reverse lookup and then returns the IP address as host name. In our 
> product this leads to a hang of 2x30 seconds (one for the SystemInfoHandler 
> of the container and another one for that of the core) during startup under 
> these conditions. Unfortunately I have found no way to make this reproducible 
> by simulating it as it depends on local network config, os and whatever else.
> As Solr is shipped bundled with a desktop application, there is currently no 
> workaround because the user network configuration is beyond our reach.
> The suggested fix for this is to replace the call to getCanonicalHostName by 
> one to getHostName(), which is done for exactly this purpose (obtaining a 
> host string for logging) in the popular Logback framework (see 
> http://logback.qos.ch/xref/ch/qos/logback/core/util/ContextUtil.html, how 
> they do it).
> Otherwise Solr has been working perfectly in this setup (bundled with a 
> desktop app) for a long time and it would be great to remove that last 
> obstacle to make it a nicer citizen bundlingwise.
