Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-16044:
-----------------------------------------

This is a silly question, but why is UnknownHostException being retried? 

Because JVMs do have a history of caching negative DNS lookup results. Looking 
at the latest javadocs, {{networkaddress.cache.negative.ttl}} is set to 10s, so 
it will eventually come up, but you do have to trust DNS to be updating its 
records

Elsewhere i the code we're just treating this as unrecoverable. Which may not 
be correct action in a world of dynamicness...but if we do start changing this 
policy, we should think about doing it consistently everywhere (including HA 
failover events)
