Description

Worked on a patch to make kudu work in an IPv6 setup. It needed some breaking changes. Before spending more time making it backwards compatible, wanted to get some feedback about whether something like this is interesting to people here: https://github.com/cloudera/kudu/pull/6.

The tests etc. all pass, except for client_sample_test which relies on the 127.x.x.x space as opposed to ::1 in ipv6.

If we agree upon a uniform way to configure IPv6, I can get a patch up for review.
