Colin Patrick McCabe created HDFS-4870: ------------------------------------------
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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
