Robert Metzger commented on FLINK-2821:
---------------------------------------
I'm stopping to work on these issues for now, because Akka 2.4 requires Java 8,
and I don't think its feasible yet for us to move to Java 8.
If (in a few years) somebody wants to pick up my work, here is my current
branch: https://github.com/rmetzger/flink/tree/flink-3662
> Change Akka configuration to allow accessing actors from different URLs
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-2821
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2821
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Distributed Runtime
> Reporter: Robert Metzger
> Assignee: Robert Metzger
> Fix For: 1.1.0
>
>
> Akka expects the actor's URL to be exactly matching.
> As pointed out here, cases where users were complaining about this:
> http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Error-trying-to-access-JM-through-proxy-td3018.html
> - Proxy routing (as described here, send to the proxy URL, receiver
> recognizes only original URL)
> - Using hostname / IP interchangeably does not work (we solved this by
> always putting IP addresses into URLs, never hostnames)
> - Binding to multiple interfaces (any local 0.0.0.0) does not work. Still
> no solution to that (but seems not too much of a restriction)
> I am aware that this is not possible due to Akka, so it is actually not a
> Flink bug. But I think we should track the resolution of the issue here
> anyways because its affecting our user's satisfaction.
