             Summary: Have webserver fall back to --hostname
                 Key: IMPALA-9102
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9102
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Infrastructure
    Affects Versions: Impala 3.4.0
            Reporter: Thomas Tauber-Marshall
            Assignee: Thomas Tauber-Marshall


When the webserver determines its hostname, it first uses the value of 
--webserver_interface. If this is a wildcard address, then it uses the value 
returned by gethostname()

In some setups, gethostname() may return the short name and not the fqdn. This 
is likely undesirable, eg. because it likely leads to the links to other 
daemons on the /backends page not working.

In other places in Impala with the same basic issue, we allow users to set the 
desired hostname with the --hostname flag. We should have the webserver fall 
back to the value of --hostname, if set, before resorting to calling 
gethostname()
