---------------------------------------
Summary: Allow a locator host to be taken off line and replaced
with a different machine having the same host name
Key: GEODE-2804
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2804
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: client/server, membership, native client
Reporter: Bruce Schuchardt
It is not unlikely that in a long-running system a machine hosting a locator
will break down and need to be replace, or that a virtual machine hosting a
locator will be stopped and restarted. In either case the machine may have a
different IP address.
Clients and servers currently cache the IP address of a locator and should be
changed to re-resolve the host name if the address stops being usable.
Servers currently cannot be started if they are given a host name that can not
be resolved. They should be changed to allow this and start up if they are
able to contact one or more of the other locators in their "locators" setting.
