> In our zoo.cfg we use hostnames to identify the ZK servers that are part
> of an ensemble. These hostnames are configured with a low (<= 60s) TTL and
> the IP address they map to can and does change. Our procedure for
> replacing/upgrading a ZK node is to boot an entirely new instance and remap
> the hostname to the new instance's IP address. Our expectation is that when
> the original ZK node is terminated/shutdown, the remaining nodes in the
> ensemble would reconnect to the new instance.
> However, what we are noticing is that the remaining ZK nodes do not attempt
> to re-resolve the hostname->IP mapping for the new server. Once the original
> ZK node is terminated, the existing servers continue to attempt contacting it
> at the old IP address. It would be great if the ZK servers could try to
> re-resolve the hostname when attempting to connect to a lost ZK server,
> instead of caching the lookup indefinitely. Currently we must do a rolling
> restart of the ZK ensemble after swapping a node -- which at three nodes
> means we periodically lose quorum.
> The exact method we are following is to boot new instances in EC2 and attach
> one, of a set of three, Elastic IP address. External to EC2 this IP address
> remains the same and maps to whatever instance it is attached to. Internal to
> EC2, the elastic IP hostname has a TTL of about 45-60 seconds and is remapped
> to the internal (10.x.y.z) address of the instance it is attached to.
> Therefore, in our case we would like ZK to pickup the new 10.x.y.z address
> that the elastic IP hostname gets mapped to and reconnect appropriately.
