> Omit reverse lookups in SystemInfoHandler
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-7884
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7884
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 5.2.1
> Reporter: Robert Krüger
> Attachments: SOLR-7884.patch
>
>
> The method SystemInfoHandler.init contains this code:
> {code:java}
> try {
> InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
> hostname = addr.getCanonicalHostName();
> } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
> //default to null
> }
> }
> {code}
> The call to getCanonicalHostName triggers a DNS reverse lookup, that on Mac
> OSX times out after 30 seconds if the current network setup has a problem
> with reverse lookup and then returns the IP address as host name. In our
> product this leads to a hang of 2x30 seconds (one for the SystemInfoHandler
> of the container and another one for that of the core) during startup under
> these conditions. Unfortunately I have found no way to make this reproducible
> by simulating it as it depends on local network config, os and whatever else.
> As Solr is shipped bundled with a desktop application, there is currently no
> workaround because the user network configuration is beyond our reach.
> The suggested fix for this is to replace the call to getCanonicalHostName by
> one to getHostName(), which is done for exactly this purpose (obtaining a
> host string for logging) in the popular Logback framework (see
> http://logback.qos.ch/xref/ch/qos/logback/core/util/ContextUtil.html, how
> they do it).
> Otherwise Solr has been working perfectly in this setup (bundled with a
> desktop app) for a long time and it would be great to remove that last
> obstacle to make it a nicer citizen bundlingwise.
