Chris Douglas updated HADOOP-4475:
----------------------------------

    Status: Open  (was: Patch Available)

Browsing through HADOOP-2404 where this was introduced, this looks like it's 
adding tests for a compatibility bridge we crossed long ago... I favor removing 
this method per HADOOP-2827, unless there are some concrete use cases...

> The (deprecated) method NetUtils.getServerAddress() doesn't validate 
> configuration values enough

> Although HADOPP-2827 wants to kill this method, it is handy, but it doesn't 
> have enough address validation, and can return a null value, which triggers 
> NPEs a bit later on in the code
