> According to the 'Hadoop Rack Awareness' section on http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.0/cluster_setup.html the script/program topology.script.file.name can assume that names are passed in as IP addresses.
> This seems to work for hdfs, but the rack-awareness of the JobTracker does not always work, depending on the hostnames of the cluster, because of a bug in the method normalizeHostName of org.apache.hadoop.net.NetUtils.java:
> It returns the host name as-is when it decides that the string passed-in is already an IP but actually it checks whether the string starts with a valid hex character!
> There is no need to check at all, because InetAddress.getByName is smart enough to not do a dns lookup when the name is an IP address.
