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?

> transient DNS errors can cause the InetSocketAddress created in
