> 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.
