KAFKA-4765: Fixed Intentionally Broken Hosts Resolving to 127.0.53.53 Fixes https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4765 by simply using artificially broken hosts that are not resolved as potential collisions (127.0.53.53s) by some DNS servers. This change is the only way to build while using Google's `8.8.8.8` (at least in my network). I can't see a downside to making this change, simply makes the build more stable and portable :) You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/original-brownbear/kafka KAFKA-4765 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/2552.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #2552 ---- commit e62468c43930390fa545d0ff24376d8bd784e691 Author: Armin Braun <m...@obrown.io> Date: 2017-02-15T09:13:58Z KAFKA-4765 Fixed Intentionally Broken Hosts Resolving to 127.0.53.53 ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
