Type Bug
Status Resolved
Affected Versions EXASOL 6.0.0
Fix Versions EXASOL 6.0.9
Resolution Date 2018-03-29

The responses to the WebSocket commands 'getHosts' and 'enterParallel' currently return the internal IP addresses of the Exasol nodes. However, this is not useful to clients because they cannot connect to Exasol using them. Clients require the external IP addresses.

This is fixed in Exasol 6.0.9. In addition, an extra JSON field ('hostIp') is required in the command requests for 'getHosts' and 'enterParallel'. This is described in detail on the project's GitHub page.
