Dave Marion commented on ACCUMULO-4331:
---------------------------------------
So, based on the comments here, it seems the consensus is to
1. Keep zero as a valid port option, which means any ephemeral port
2. Keep tserver.port.search, but maybe change it such that it performs a 1-up
attempt instead of random
3. Allow the user to specify a range of ports to be used (M-N).
I'll add a 4th here assuming that I am going to merge in ACCUMULO-4328:
4. IF the system property "instance" is set to N, then the Nth port in the
tserver.client.port range will be used. This is an attempt to provide some port
stability to multiple tservers on the same host.

> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Dave Marion
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
>
> There was some discussion in ACCUMULO-4328 about ports, so I decided to track
> down how the client ports are configured and allocated. Issues raised in the
> discussion were:
> 1. The port search feature was not well understood
> 2. Ephemeral port allocation makes it hard to lock servers down (e.g.
> iptables)
> Looking through the code I found the following properties allocate a port
> number based on conf.getPort(). This returns the port number based on the
> property and supports either a single value or zero. Then, in the server
> component (monitor, tracer, gc, etc) this value is used when creating a
> ServerSocket. If the port is already in use, the process will fail.
> {noformat}
> monitor.port.log4j
> trace.port.client
> gc.port.client
> monitor.port.client
> {noformat}
> The following properties use TServerUtils.startServer which uses the value in
> the property to start the TServer. If the value is zero, then it picks a
> random port between 1024 and 65535. If tserver.port.search is enabled, then
> it will try a thousand times to bind to a random port.
> {noformat}
> tserver.port.client
> master.port.client
> master.replication.coordinator.port
> replication.receipt.service.port
> {noformat}
> I'm proposing that we deprecate the tserver.port.search property and the
> value zero in the property value for the properties above. Instead, I think
> we should allow the user to specify a single value or a range (M-N).
