----------------------------------
Summary: GatewayReceiverImpl.start() retry logic is dependent on
JDK's underlying C runtime
Key: GEODE-5591
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-5591
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Bug
Components: wan
Reporter: Sean Goller
org/apache/geode/internal/cache/wan/GatewayReceiverImpl.java:66 denotes a
string comparison that relies on the specific C runtime that the JDK is run on
top of. This code will misbehave on Alpine Linux (A popular linux distribution
for containers) because it is based on the musl libc, not the GNU libc. The
intent of the code is to throw an exception if the receiver cannot bind to the
requested address. This will not occur if the JDK is compiled against musl
libc. As an aside, the entire retry logic seems suspicious as it only retries
in situations that are static and should not change, so the reason for the code
should be re-evaluated and made more robust and not dependent on native os
information.
