[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-487?page=all ]
Sameer Paranjpye updated HADOOP-487:
------------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: In Progress)
This patch changes the constructor of Connection to throw an
UnknownHostException if an unresolved InetSocketAddress is passed in. Maybe it
should take a shot at resolving the address first since unresolved addresses
can be created with InetSocketAddress.createUnresolved?

> I'm trying to construct a DistributedFileSystem but I have the wrong hostname.
> It doesn't work. It throws an exception. Fair enough.
> However, it throws a null pointer exception inside
> $Proxy0.getProtocolVersion, the code that checks whether we have the right
> protocol version, rather than giving us any exception we could understand or
> taking an exception in code to which we have sources so we have a way of
> understanding the problem.
