Node Endpoint

M3DB stores an endpoint field on placement instances that is used for communication between DB nodes and from other components such as the coordinator.

The operator allows customizing the format of this endpoint by setting the nodeEndpointFormat field on a cluster spec. The format of this field uses Go templates, with the following template fields currently supported:

Field	Description
PodName	Name of the pod
M3DBService	Name of the generated M3DB service
PodNamespace	Namespace the pod is in
Port	Port M3DB is serving RPCs on

The default format is:

{{ .PodName }}.{{ .M3DBService }}:{{ .Port }}

As an example of an override, to expose an M3DB cluster to containers in other Kubernetes namespaces nodeEndpointFormat can be set to:

{{ .PodName }}.{{ .M3DBService }}.{{ .PodNamespace }}:{{ .Port }}
