    Description

      *Problem statement : *Disabling IPv6 at the OS level is sometimes not possible always since Infrastructure teams have to consistently offer the same OS image which keeps the IPv6 stack enabled across all their use-cases. Currently, each node can only be configured to be “ipv4” or “ipv6”; and we optionally attempt to bind on the other if one is specified.

      Some Couchbase deployments require that Couchbase Server does not bind to IPv6 ports. This means that : IPV4-only – must listen on IPV4. Do not listen on IPV6.

      *What's needed - *
      This setting must also be cluster-wide, easy to specify via REST API, and persistent in the cluster config file post node/cluster restarts. All components of Couchbase must abide by this setting when started/re-started by the cluster manager. Additionally, when a node is added to the cluster, the administrator doesn’t need to manually set each node to be ipv4 only as it gets added to the cluster. Instead, it should be picked up from the cluster configuration.
