> This patch allows for network configuration parameters to be aded to the 
> hadoop-site.xml file. These parameters specify a network interface name and 
> an optional nameserver hostname which DataNodes and TaskTrackers consult to 
> resolve  their hostnames from the IP bound to the specified network interface.
> This is useful when machines that are part of different physical or logical 
> network need to participate in hadoop clusters as client nodes. The hostname 
> and IP reported by InetAddress.getLocalHost() are not necessarily the ones 
> that will allow the JobTracker and NameNode to reach the clients, as well as 
> not necessarily the ones through which the DFS clients can reach the 
> DataNodes.
> The configuration parameters are
>  - cluster.report.nif
>  - cluster.report.ns
> nif: takes the name of a network interface, like en0, en1 (on macs), eth0, 
> etc...
> ns: the host name of a DNS server to use when resolving the IP bound to the 
> specified nif
> These parameters are set by default to the value "default" which will 
> replicate the current behavior of reporting 
> InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() and getHostAddress()
> As part of the patch, a new library dnsjava was added along with its license 
> information (BSD license). The list of affected files is:
> src
>  org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DataNode 
>  org.apache.hadoop.mapred.taskTracker 
>  org.apache.hadoop.util.NetworkUtils
> conf
>  hadoop-default.xml
> lib
>  dnsjava-2.0.2.jar
>  dnsjava-2.0.2.LICENSE.txt
