Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-5338:
----------------------------------------------
Kihwal, you are correct. I was not able to start a single node cluster since
my network did not have reverse DNS lookup.
> 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.
