+1 for a branch; ideally not too long lived. Dhruba still has commit rights, perhaps he could be persuaded to help with it.
If you look at the Hadoop code, it's not just network assumptions, it's fairly brittle to bad network setup -and not helpful when these situations arise. What could be good as part of this/a slideline is to have some entry point where you can probe network setup, failing fast (with an error code) if a condition isn't met (e.g. the JVM doesn't get an IPv6 address, or its address doesn't match that you get when you look up the hostname) > On 17 Aug 2015, at 17:04, Elliott Clark <ecl...@apache.org> wrote: > > Nate (nkedel) and I have been working on IPv6 on Hadoop and HBase lately. > We're getting somewhere but there are a lot of different places that make > assumptions about network.
