--------------------------------------
It seems this is no longer an issue. Agreed?

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Brainstorming
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
>
> HBASE-3772 is the latest of several incidents where regionservers and master
> map their identities to hostnames yet hostname resolution is inconsistent
> cluster wide. With HBase 0.20 we have seen this lead conditions like META
> being hosted on 11 servers at once. The situation with HBase 0.90 is better
> but it concerns me a lot. Confusion about identity cannot be anything but bad.
> Why don't we have the processes generate for themselves a random UUID upon
> startup, or similar, and have all processes on the cluster map these UUIDs to
> identities? Critically, region assignment state should hold the UUID of the
> current assignee. This would not remove the need to resolve region locations
> to network addresses, nor determine liveness of assignments, but will prevent
> the specific double assignment scenarios we have seen if hostname resolution
> is flaky.
