----------------------------------

Hi Colin, I think you are right that DatanodeID is created in DN heartbeat to 
NN for registration and its hostName comes from conf of "dfs.datanode.hostname" 
which can be any style but DNS name if this config is not setting.
However, following code in resolveNetworkLocation() called by 
DatanodeManager.registerDatanode() make only IPs are cached through DN 
registration. Isn't it? 
{code}
    if (dnsToSwitchMapping instanceof CachedDNSToSwitchMapping) {
      names.add(node.getIpAddr());
    } else {
      names.add(node.getHostName());
    }
{code} 
Actually, now I am worrying about non-cached case, as even topology script can 
resolve user-specified "hostName" to correct network location (rack) properly 
and use it to register into networktopology tree. Later, it still need to 
resolve topology based on nodes' IP (like in 
DatanodeManager.sortLocatedBlocks()) which means script must contains both 
user-specified "hostName" and IP for each node. IMO, This is really unnecessary 
and confusing. Thoughts?

> After HDFS-4521, once a DN is registered with invalid networktopology, all
