Patch that does the work.

For the RS, it simply uses hbase.regionserver.ipc.address if it's available to bind.

For the master, the ServerName cannot be set like we do for the RS when it reports for duty so I keep both the hostname that's normally set and the bind address if configured so that the Master doesn't report as being "0.0.0.0".

Should "hbase.master.ipc.address" bit h.m.ipc.bind.address ?

It works?

Should "hbase.master.ipc.address" bit h.m.ipc.bind.address ?

Thanks for looking at the patch. I tried to stay close to what HDFS has such as "dfs.datanode.ipc.address". Putting "bind" in there makes it clearer but then it's different from what HDFS does. Either work for me.

Ok. Leave as is.

Does it work?

lsof shows this with the config set to 0.0.0.0 (standalone so ports are kinda random):

java 87639 jdcryans 99u IPv6 0x5de58c7d72297553 0t0 TCP *:58383 (LISTEN)

versus without the config:

java 87867 jdcryans 99u IPv6 0x5de58c7d669d6d93 0t0 TCP 192.168.1.120:58698 (LISTEN)

+1 (Was more asking about regionservers showing in master but thinking on how this works – master tells regionserver what name to use – I can't see how this patch would mess stuff up).

Would suggest trying to get this into 0.94.

+1 (Was more asking about regionservers showing in master but thinking on how this works – master tells regionserver what name to use – I can't see how this patch would mess stuff up).

On the hostname side of things, the master remains unchanged and for the region server it's like you say yes, master tells the RS to use whatever it sees.

Would suggest trying to get this into 0.94.

Patch attached, I ran it on a single node to see if it works ok and it does (also checked lsof).
