Andy Sloane commented on CURATOR-229:
-------------------------------------

Seconding this.

What's super annoying is that the background thread just dies, and yet no API 
calls ever throw any exceptions or ever indicate anything is wrong. If 
{{CuratorFramework.start()}} or {{LeaderLatch.await()}} threw an exception then 
we'd be fine since we'd just die and restart, but instead everything is just 
stuck.


> No retry on DNS lookup failure

>             Project: Apache Curator
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Framework
>    Affects Versions: 2.7.0
>            Reporter: Michael Putters
>
> Our environment is setup so that host names (rather than IP addresses) are 
> used when registering services.
> When disconnecting a node from the network, it will attempt to reconnect and 
> - in order to do this - attempts to resolve a host name, which fails (since 
> we have no network connectivity and a DNS server is used).
> It appears this type of exception is not retryable, and the node simply gives 
> up and never reconnects, even when the network connectivity is back.
> Is this the expected behavior? Is there any way to configure Curator so that 
> this type of exception is retryable? I had a look at 
> {{CuratorFrameworkImpl.java}} around line 768 but there doesn't seem to be 
> anything configurable.
> If this is not the expected behavior (or if it is but you don't mind making 
> it configurable), I should be able to provide a patch via a pull request.
