>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Bug

> The _HOST marker used for Kerberos principals in various configuration files does not always return lowercase fully qualified hostnames.  For example this setting in hdfs-site.xml
> {code}
> <property>
>   <name>dfs.namenode.kerberos.principal</name>
>   <value>hdfs/_HOST@YOURREALM.COM</value>
> </property>
> {code}
> In particular, this is impeding our work to have Hadoop work with equivalent security on Windows as on Linux.
> In the windows env in which I'm having the issue, I was able to get a fully qualified host name using this version of method getLocalHostName() in .

> {code:java}
>   public static String getLocalHostName() throws UnknownHostException {
>     String hostname = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getCanonicalHostName();
>     if ( !hostname.contains( "." ) ) {
>       final String os = System.getProperties().getProperty( "os.name", "?" ).toLowerCase();
>       if ( os.startsWith( "windows" ) ) {
>         String domain = System.getenv( "USERDNSDOMAIN" );
>         if ( domain != null ) {
>           hostname += "." + domain.trim();
