[Question]: `hostfile` configuration in aquila

[csyourui]

Description

As described in here and here, the hostfile should accept aliases for ssh. However, in the following script: https://github.com/FlagAI-Open/FlagAI/blob/fa9b5a3498a71fd154d6224207b06d01f2b4864b/examples/Aquila/bmtrain_mgpu.sh#L28-L29

The slots value is obtained by comparing the ifconfig results and the hostfile, which only supports IP addresses.

Alternatives

use aliases in hostfile will return:

We will adjust the Readme, it currently only supports IP address
