Hi Praveen, It's unusual to want to set the handoff.ip address to 127.0.0.1 unless you're trying to run multiple nodes on a single machine (we call that a devrel). As you may have noticed we just issued a data loss advisory about exactly that - please see http://lists.basho.com/pipermail/riak-users_lists.basho.com/2015-May/017146.html
*Only* set handoff.ip to 127.0.0.1 if you are running the nodes on the same machine. I suspect what you want instead is a private network between the nodes, in which case you should configure handoff.ip to be the node address on the private network.
