paul cannon commented on CASSANDRA-2238: ---------------------------------------- It might be nontrivial- it depends on what we define as the hostname for a node: the node's own OS {{hostname}} output, or some other lookup (DNS, NSS, etc) of each node IP from the system running nodetool? The former makes more sense, but the only way I could identify to accomplish it, last time I tried, was to query the {{Name}} attribute of {{java.lang:type=Runtime}}, and depend on it always containing the local hostname after the @ sign. I have no idea whether that's a valid thing to depend on, and it seems a little bit excessively ghetto for something like nodetool. The right solution would probably be adding a jmx attribute exposing the "real" node name. If instead this ticket is asking for reverse DNS lookups or something, then I'm -1 on the whole thing. > Allow nodetool to print out hostnames given an option > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2238 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2238 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Tools > Reporter: Joaquin Casares > Assignee: paul cannon > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 0.8.1 > > > Give nodetool the option of either displaying IPs or hostnames for the nodes > in a ring. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
