sam rash commented on HADOOP-6679: ---------------------------------- 1. ah yes, I see the --no-prefix option. I'll update and post the patch 2. my understanding is the jvm caches on successful resolution, not on failure, so a retry should be useful http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/net/properties.html#nct Do I misunderstand the docs? 3. you mean you want a port/service description passed in here? public static InetSocketAddress createWithResolveRetry( String hostname, int port, String portDescription ) { .... and I assume the NetUtils.createSocketAddr() would now have to take this? It's current signature is public static InetSocketAddress createSocketAddr(String target, int defaultPort) { can you clarify what you mean by this? > add retry logic to NetUtils.createSocketAddr() when hostname resolution fails > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6679 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6679 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.20.0 > Reporter: sam rash > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HADOOP-6679-patch-1.txt > > > transient DNS errors can cause the InetSocketAddress created in > NetUtils.createSocketAddr() to be unresolved when the hostname is resolvable. > Add a single retry after a short sleep using a simple > InetSocketAddressFactory class -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
