Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-5338:
----------------------------------

bq. changes DatanodeManager.isNameResolved(..) to use 
NetUtils.isLocalAddress(..).
It changes the default behavior. It will allow users to run a single node 
cluster using a non-loopback local IP address that has no corresponding dns 
entry. Is that the intention? 

> Add a conf to disable hostname check in DN registration

> During DN registration, if the ip and the hostname in the DN InetAddress are 
> different, the DN will be disallowed to register, where the DN InetAddress 
> was obtained from the socket.  It is a performance improvement added by 
> HDFS-3990 to avoid unnecessary DNS resolutions.
> We propose to add a conf property for disabling the check.  Otherwise, 
> clusters without reverse DNS lookup support does not work.
