Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-16044:
-----------------------------------------

bq With that said, if you have evidence this is a bad design, we should change 
it.

no, I don't think it is a bad design. I'm curious. In a classic physical 
deployment, DNS failures are a bad sign. And, because  the JVM cached -ve DNS 
results *forever* , spinning never fixed things. If the JVMs have stopped doing 
this, then in a dynamic world, this makes sense.

I wondering something broader, which is: is the assumption that 
"UnknownHostException not worth retrying" no longer valid? 

And if so, what to do about all those existing uses?
