> There is a serious bug in HServerAddress, who depends on the stringValue [class variable] for comparison. This variable is supposed to be host_ip_address:port. 
> However, there is one constructor which allows user to pass a string as host_ip_address directly. This constructor is buggy because some caller may pass the host name instead of host ip address. And we found out one case in the HBase client.
> The fix is to normalize the stringValue generation by calling the existing function getHostAddressWithPort.
> For example:
> this.stringValue = getHostAddressWithPort();
