> Project: Hadoop HDFS

> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Arpit Agarwal
> Assignee: Arpit Agarwal
> Fix For: 1-win, 1.3.0

> HDFS does not work very well on multi-homed machines. A few open Jiras refer
> to this:
> # HDFS-1379
> # HADOOP-8198
> There are multiple issues involved here and some of them can be worked around
> by using alternate DNS names and configuring {{slave.host.name}} on Datanodes
> and task trackers.
> However namenode issues cannot be worked around because it does not respect
> the {{fs.default.name}} configuration. e.g. {{Namenode#initialize}} performs
> a gratuitous reverse DNS lookup to regenerate the hostname. Similar issues
> exist elsewhere.
> This Jira is being filed to fix some of the more serious problems. To avoid
> affecting existing users a new config setting may be introduced.
