We do not need to care….. As mentioned above, since users can use either IP or hostname, I don't realize what the focus of this discussion is. I think the focus is on what the user manual is exposed to the user? What are the functions provided? As for the implementation of the code, I think it is OK to use hostname or IP. In the k8s cluster, the hostname of some pods is also changed. If we only replace IP with hostname, it will not make our iotdb run perfectly on k8s. Therefore, I think it is not important to use hostname or IP. The important thing is to realize the function of automatic service maintenance that can be deployed on k8s.

We do not need to care..... We should make the relationship between node IP, node hostname and node identifier be clear. IMO, node identifier is the only option.

However, we should consider these cons carefully: 1. DNS request is an additional cost in nodes communication. In cloud environment, the latency may be as large as hundreds of milliseconds(e.g. across available regions), and local DNS cache is also an issue in some extreme scenarios. 2. We should make the relationship between node IP, node hostname and node identifier be clear. A node should not be treated as a new one if it changes its IP or hostname. Or allowing to change IP only. 在 2021/8/25 下午11:15，“Xiangdong Huang”<saint...@gmail.com> 写入: Hi, Today Julian and I discussed some logic of the cluster module. Both of us feel it strange that we replace the hostname to IP before a cluster node starts up. I think it is not a very common way. hostname sometimes is very very helpful. For example, in K8S environment, a node's hostname never changes, but its IP may change.
