Log an error if the topology script doesn't handle multiple args
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-7424
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7424
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Eli Collins


ScriptBasedMapping#resolve currently warns and returns null if it passes n 
arguments to the topology script and gets back a different number of 
resolutions. This indicates a bug in the topology script (or it's input) and 
therefore should be an error.

{code}
// invalid number of entries returned by the script
LOG.warn("Script " + scriptName + " returned "
   + Integer.toString(m.size()) + " values when "
   + Integer.toString(names.size()) + " were expected.");
return null;
{code}

There's only one place in Hadoop (FSNamesystem init) where we pass multiple 
arguments to the topology script, and it only done for performance (to trigger 
resolution/caching of all the hosts in the includes file on startup). So 
currently a topology script that doesn't handle multiple arguments just means 
the initial cache population doesn't work.
