> We currently only resolve the hostnames in the included and excluded 
> datanodes list once-- when the list is read.  The rationale for this is that 
> in big clusters, DNS resolution for thousands of nodes can take a long time 
> (when generating a datanode list in getDatanodeListForReport, for example).  
> However, if the DNS information changes for one of these hosts, we should 
> reflect that.  A background thread could do these DNS resolutions every few 
> minutes without blocking any foreground operations.
