Bruce J Schuchardt reassigned GEODE-7808:
-----------------------------------------
Assignee: Bruce J Schuchardt
> standardize on use of LocatorAddress/HostAddress for connection formation
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEODE-7808
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-7808
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: membership, messaging
> Reporter: Bruce J Schuchardt
> Assignee: Bruce J Schuchardt
> Priority: Major
>
> We currently use InetAddress and InetSocketAddress in many places to identify
> locators, servers and peers. Some work has been done in the past couple of
> years to reduce the use of these in order to accommodate changes in IP
> addresses due to various causes. The class LocatorAddress was created to
> help with this and it is able to hold a host name without resolving it until
> that resolution is needed to form a tcp/ip connection.
> These days we are seeing more and more movement into cloud computing and the
> need to accommodate IP address changes is becoming a bigger issue. To that
> end we would like to change our primary client/server and WAN communication
> interfaces to stop taking InetAddresses and InetSocketAddresses as arguments
> and, instead, take something like a LocatorAddress that can hold an
> unresolved hostname that our communication implementations will resolve when
> needed.
> To that end we should also remove the hostname->inetaddress cache in
> SocketCreator and rely on the operating system's DNS cache.
