Hi,

I was experimenting with the ClusterSharding system (the one in master
with rememberEntries true) and persistence in a simplistic test that
those the following:

1) Start a ClusterSharding region on one node only
2) start an entry, and communicate with it
3) shutdown the ActorSystem
4) Start a new ActorSystem (same name)
5) Start the same ClusterSharding region
6) expect the entry to be recreated by virtue of persistence and
'rememberEntries'

To my surprise it failed. The reason is that I add netty.tcp.port=0 in
my configuration, which attributes a random port for each ActorSystem.

Of course, in 4) the new ActorSystem has a distinct port from the one
created at the start of the test. This means that when replaying the
ShardCoordinator events, the unserialized ActorRef points to a different
node than the current one, which later will create some issues since it
doesn't exist anymore.

Now, the problem is not this simplistic test (that I can fix by
assigning a proper fixed port). It's when this system will be used in a
production cluster where there's no guarantee that there will always be
the same node present between restarts of the ShardCoordinator. For
instance if I completely shutdown the production cluster, and recreate a
new one on different EC2 instances (for instance) that would have
completely different IP address, then the ShardCoordinator wouldn't be
able to properly be configured.

Is it a bug or did I miss something?
