Arpit Agarwal commented on HADOOP-15129:
----------------------------------------

The test case {{testIpcFlakyHostResolution}} also lgtm. The other new test 
{{testIpcHostResolutionTimeout}} looks related to this change. Do we need it 
[~Karthik Palaniappan]?

bq. can we pass "localhost" for NetUtils.wrapException instead of null. Above 
message in logs is little misleading.
Good point. The local IP address for the connection is indeterminate until the 
target hostname is resolved e.g. multi-homed setups. So I am okay with leaving 
this as null for now. [~ajayydv], let me know if that sounds reasonable.

> On startup, the Datanode creates an InetSocketAddress to register with each 
> namenode. Though there are retries on connection failure throughout the 
> stack, the same InetSocketAddress is reused.
> InetSocketAddress is an interesting class, because it resolves DNS names to 
> IP addresses on construction, and it is never refreshed. Hadoop re-creates an 
> InetSocketAddress in some cases just in case the remote IP has changed for a 
> particular DNS name: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7472.
> Anyway, on startup, you cna see the Datanode log: "Namenode...remains 
> unresolved" -- referring to the fact that DNS lookup failed.

> Unfortunately, the log doesn't contain the exception that triggered it, but 
> the culprit is actually in IPC Client: 
> https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/ipc/Client.java#L444.
> This line was introduced in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-487 
> to give a clear error message when somebody mispells an address.
> However, the fix in HADOOP-7472 doesn't apply here, because that code happens 
> in Client#getConnection after the Connection is constructed.
> My proposed fix (will attach a patch) is to move this exception out of the 
> constructor and into a place that will trigger HADOOP-7472's logic to 
> re-resolve addresses. If the DNS failure was temporary, this will allow the 
> connection to succeed. If not, the connection will fail after ipc client 
> retries (default 10 seconds worth of retries).
> I want to fix this in ipc client rather than just in Datanode startup, as 
> this fixes temporary DNS issues for all of Hadoop.
