FYI, there is reasoning behind doing this in respect to the larger 
Hadoop community. When you run with Kerberos, things will not work at 
all without proper hostnames. There are lots of cases where dealing with 
hostnames is easier than IPs (e.g. what happens if the physical host you 
run the namenode on dies and you need to transition it to a different 
node -- IPs make this much more difficult).

That said, if there is something we can do that will make this easier 
for your situation, let's give it some thought. I don't think I realized 
that things were actually broken with IPs, just that we strongly 
recommend using hostnames instead.
