ASF subversion and git services commented on GEODE-2804:
--------------------------------------------------------

Commit 0d127560bd4f6b148920c15a478da1880491a6af in geode's branch refs/heads/develop from [~hitesh.khamesra]
[ https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=geode.git;h=0d12756 ]

Revert "GEODE-2804 Update InetSocketAddress, when there is IOException."

This reverts commit e216fde1e4b1613bde22112cfb1544be022c3aac.

We are reverting previous fix. As that fix caused some more issues.
Currently we cache InetAddress in Geode. Solution was to cache hostname
but in certain cases that's not enough.

> It is not unlikely that in a long-running system a machine hosting a locator will break down and need to be replace, or that a virtual machine hosting a locator will be stopped and restarted.  In either case the machine may have a different IP address.
> Clients and servers currently cache the IP address of a locator and should be changed to re-resolve the host name if the address stops being usable.
> Servers currently cannot be started if they are given a host name that can not be resolved.  They should be changed to allow this and start up if they are able to contact one or more of the other locators in their "locators" setting.
