------------------------------------------

             Summary: periodically re-resolve hostnames in included and 
excluded datanodes list
                 Key: HDFS-4870
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4870
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
            Priority: Minor


We currently only resolve the hostnames in the included and excluded datanodes 
list once-- when the list is read.  The rationale for this is that in big 
clusters, DNS resolution for thousands of nodes can take a long time (when 
generating a datanode list in getDatanodeListForReport, for example).  However, 
if the DNS information changes for one of these hosts, we should reflect that.  
A background thread could do these DNS resolutions every few minutes without 
blocking any foreground operations.
