Jing Zhao commented on HDFS-4947:
---------------------------------

Thanks for the comments, Colin and Brandon!

bq. Another question I have is whether there may be multiple hostnames 
associated with the client's IP address. I'm pretty sure this is allowable, so 
we may have to deal with that case here.

According to the wiki page of reverse DNS lookup 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup), it is allowable that 
multiple hostnames associated with one IP address while the DNS has multiple 
corresponding PTR records. However, also according to the wiki page and some 
other discussion (e.g., 
http://serverfault.com/questions/105061/how-to-find-all-hostnames-in-dns-attached-to-one-ip),
 this may not be a common and recommended case. So I think we can currently 
only support the one hostname case and support multiple hostnames in the future 
if necessary.

I will address other comments and upload a new patch soon.

> This jira adds NFS server export table (hostname or IP range) to control 
> export. Specifically, it
> 1. adds two new classes AccessPrivilege and ClientHostsMatcher for loading 
> and checking the mapping between client hosts and their access privileges. 
> These two classes are directly copied from Brock Noland's NFS4 implementation.
> 2. adds the access check (based on the export) to NFS3 procedures.
