Hello -- I'm wondering if anyone knows why the hbase master broadcasts its hostname instead of its IP when it is telling the system where to connect to it? Does anyone know if there is a specific reason behind this?
I'm asking because I am debating making a code change in hbase to force the master to report its IP and I am wondering if anyone is aware of a design decision for why it isn't like this in the first place? (modifying /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname is not a great solution for my particular case) Thanks, Ben
