Steve Loughran resolved HADOOP-13949.
-------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Closing as a WONTFIX, as this has been discussed in the past, and rejected then.

Why? Kerberos

Kerberos likes hostnames, not IP addresses, and likes to do reverse DNS too.

If you want security, you need Kerberos, so you need hostnames. And if you 
aren't running Kerberos, your Hadoop cluster and all data on it is available to 
everyone on the network. Which is generally considered a bad thing.

Generally, unless you run a DNS service, you can edit /etc/hosts for sharing 
the host tables. 

* If you are creating virtual clusters with short livespans, your config 
tooling (chef, puppet, ansible) can do this.
* if you have physical clusters, embrace DNS

We do recognise that sometimes it would seem useful to use IPAddrs, but its not 
something anyone should be doing in production. By not supporting it, we avoid 
people starting off with deployments which work during development/setup, but 
which can't go live.

Sorry

> Hadoop could provide IP instead of hostname to represent the node, which can 
> reduce the DNS hostname resolution consumption

> Normally,Hadoop use hostname represent the node,such as 
> datanode,nodemanager,will lookup nameserver at rack resolve or create  rpc 
> connnect .
> May be could provide a chance use ip walk around dns resolution.
