Hostname detection is broken

[jvshahid]

The domain name of the server can change depending on the network/dhcp that the server connects to. This can cause the server to wait indefinitely for itself to be added to the list of servers. For example if the server was started for the first time as foo.home.network and changed to foo.work.network it will wait indefinitely for foo.home.network to be added to the list of servers before it starts. We can solve this problem by using the unqualified hostname or by using the raft id to identify the servers.

I updated it to use the Raft id a while ago. This should be fixed already in the 0.5.0 line: https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/blob/master/src/cluster/cluster_configuration.go#L207

There are still places that use the connection string https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/blob/master/src/coordinator/coordinator.go#L794

This is covered by #478 and #419. Closing this story
