Due to the following issues:
- Connection retries
- Address confusion
- Server setup requirement
- Firewall concerns
It is recommended to switch the polarity of the local spark communication from:
TCP server being on the host computer and TCP client being on the Spark
to:
TCP server being on the Spark and TCP client being on the Host Computer
This will allow the host computer to control retries/reconnects, not have to worry about firewalls (Spark doesn't have a firewall as best I can tell), or multiple network interfaces. This will make the code base for spark-io significantly easier. Pull request coming soon (today).
