No connections were made after updating gorethink package

[aranw]

I've been working with the gorethink package locally for awhile and when I went to install the project on my colleagues machine they pulled gorethink for the first time the code then stopped working.

I noticed the godocs had been updated so updated my local version and updated the code but found that I started getting the "no connections were made when creating the session"

The code am running is

        address := fmt.Sprintf("%s:%d", c.String("rethink_host"), c.Int("rethink_port"))

    r.SetVerbose(true)

    session, err := r.Connect(r.ConnectOpts{
        Address: address,
    })
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalln(err.Error())
    }

This is the output I get in terminal

FATA[0003] no connections were made when creating the session

I've confirmed that this problem only happens with my Docker version of RethinkDB.

Docker version

"version":  "rethinkdb 2.0.2~0jessie (GCC 4.9.1)"

Server version

"version":  "rethinkdb 2.0.2~0trusty (GCC 4.8.2)"

It looks like this is an issue caused by the switch to using host discovery by default (due to an issue with the healthchecks when host discovery was disabled).

I will revert the change and come up with a better solution to the previous issue.
