             Summary: HDFS Nameservices introduces DNS latency 
inter-dependencies between namenodes
                 Key: HDFS-11300
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11300
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: hdfs, hdfs-client
    Affects Versions: 2.6.0
            Reporter: Rémy SAISSY


When using HDFS Nameservices, a DNS outage or strong latency on  one of 
nameservices will impact any DFSClient or other component which has this 
nameservice in its hdfs-site.xml. Even though it doesn't use it.

The issue is due to all nameservices being listed in hdfs-site.xml, and hadoop 
code trying to resolve all of them upfront.

To ilustrate the issue, here is the use case we have:
* the 'prod' cluster with its dedicated DNS
* the 'preprod' cluster with its dedicated DNS
* both 'prod' and 'preprod'  hdfs-site.xml files have each other nameservices 
so that they can use HDFS as follows:
(from prod) hdfs dfs -ls hdfs://preprod/user/j.doe

A DNS outage on the preprod cluster slow down production jobs being scheduled 
because of the upfront resolution of the hdfs-site.xml nameservices entries 
even though a specific job doesn't use it.


A solution to fix this issue is to fix the upfront resolution and do it in a 
lazy way.
