-------------------------------------------

Hi All,

I have worked on some other issue where I had to change StaticHostProvider to contain ServerCfg class which include the host string provided at config time, the resolved Inetaddress and SSL cert fingerprint. And also fixing all the plumbing everywhere to carry or operate upon ServerCfg. Will this be sufficient to address this issue?.
https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/pull/185/files#diff-1b64f5144158570491cfdec2b93b5c79

I have modified this PR to fit needs of having a chance at getting SSL support committed hence I removed these changes and published a different PR:  https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/pull/188 (has the StaticHostProvider host changes removed and all the plumbing restored) for your reference to changes with and without StaticHostProvider modified.

Let me know if this a direction worth while pursuing I can carve out just the StaticHostProvider changes (without the SSL cert fingerprint in ServerCfg) and publish them as a PR.

thanks
Powell.

> Testing in a Docker environment with a single Kafka instance using a single Zookeeper instance. Restarting the Zookeeper container will cause it to receive a new IP address. Kafka will never be able to reconnect to Zookeeper and will hang indefinitely. Updating DNS or /etc/hosts with the new IP address will not help the client to reconnect as the zookeeper/client/StaticHostProvider resolves the connection string hosts at creation time and never re-resolves.
> A solution would be for the client to notice that connection attempts fail and attempt to re-resolve the hostnames in the connectString.
