I find it really frustrating that nodetool status doesn't include a hostname
Makes it harder to track down problems. I realize it PRIMARILY uses the IP but perhaps cassandra.yml can include an optional 'hostname' parameter that can be set by the user. OR have the box itself include the hostname in gossip when it starts up. I realize that hostname wouldn't be authoritative and that the IP must still be shown but we could add another column for the hostname. -- We’re hiring if you know of any awesome Java Devops or Linux Operations Engineers!
