Github user EronWright commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3061 @StephanEwen unfortunately Akka doesn't support hostname verification, so the Akka remoting code wasn't touched. I suppose we could fix it in Flakka, at which time we'd need to move to full canonicalization of the hostname (as opposed to the lower-casing and other such normalization efforts that take place as of FLINK-2821). Yeah I think this is safe to take.
