> We saw an issue where a custom InputSplit was returning invalid hostnames for
> the splits that were then causing the JobTracker to attempt to excessively
> resolve host names. This caused a major slowdown for the JobTracker. We
> should prevent invalid InputSplit hostnames from affecting everyone else.
> I propose we implement some verification for the hostnames to try to ensure
> that we only do DNS lookups on valid hostnames (and fail otherwise). We
> could also fail the job after a certain number of failures in the resolve.
