[jira] [Updated] (BOOKKEEPER-618) Better resolution of bookie address

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-618?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Bryan Beaudreault updated BOOKKEEPER-618:
-----------------------------------------

    Description: 
Bookie#getBookieAddress uses the following code:

{code:title=Bookie.java}
    /**
     * Return the configured address of the bookie.
     */
    public static InetSocketAddress getBookieAddress(ServerConfiguration conf)
            throws UnknownHostException {
        return new InetSocketAddress(InetAddress.getLocalHost()
                .getHostAddress(), conf.getBookiePort());
    }
{code}

This code is subject to the contents of one's /etc/hosts file, in that if they have an entry like {{127.0.0.1 myhostname}}, this method will return the same 127.0.0.1 address on all bookie servers.  This causes conflicts due to the way bookies register in zookeeper.

There should be an optional bk_server.conf setting to allow one to select their preferred network interface to use for the bookie.  Then you could use something like {{NetworkInterface.getByName(PREFERRED_INTERFACE).getInetAddresses()}} instead.  This method is not effected by the /etc/hosts.

An alternative method of registering the bookie that does not rely on the local address would be another possible solution, such as using the DNS like other apache projects (hbase).
