Stephan Ewen created FLINK-1559: ----------------------------------- Summary: Normalize all Akka URLs to use IP addresses, not hostnames Key: FLINK-1559 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1559 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Distributed Runtime Affects Versions: 0.9 Reporter: Stephan Ewen Assignee: Stephan Ewen Fix For: 0.9
Akka has the nasty property that it does not use IP addresses and hostnames interchangeably. Example: If the JobManager is started at {{akka:tcp//flink@localhost:1234/user/JOBMANAGER}} and a job client actor tries to send messages to {{akka:tcp//flink@127.0.0.1:1234/user/JOBMANAGER}}, the job manager actor system will receive the messages, but throw them away, because they are not destined for the actor system. I am not sure whether this is a bug or a feature in akka, but we need to deal with it. To be on the safe side, I suggest to build all akka URLs with ip addresses. We can still use host names in our logic (connection infos, local assignments, etc) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
