Description

Currently write proxy uses shard id to distinguish ledger allocators in the pool. Using shard id is very convenient if deploying using a scheduler like aurora, as scheduler usually be able to assign a unique shard id.

However, for deployments not using aurora, it might make sense to use just hostname to identify the allocator used by a specific write proxy.
