Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-4256:
----------------------------------------
[~yarekt] We have a broker configuration {{advertised.listeners}} which should
let you override the host used in Zookeeper. Does this not work?
> Use IP for ZK broker register

> Key: KAFKA-4256
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4256
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Reporter: Yarek Tyshchenko
> Priority: Minor
>
> Kafka seems to default to using fqdn when registering itself with Zookeeper,
> using the call "java.net.InetAddress.getCanonicalHostName()". This means that
> in an environment where host's hostname doesn't resolve for zookeeper node
> will make that node unreachable.
> Currently theres no way to tell kafka to just use the IP address, I
> understand that it would be difficult to know which interface it should use
> to get the IP from.
> One environment like this is docker (prior to version 1.11, where networks
> are available). Only solution right now is to hard-code the IP address in the
> configuration file.
> It would be nice if there was a configuration option to just use the IP
> address of a specified interface.
> For reference I'm including my workaround for research:
