> A long time ago HADOOP-497 introduced the option to specify a specific nameserver to use when looking up the hostname of an interface specified in the config (eg by {{dfs.datanode.dns.interface}}). This feature is not in MR2, and I dont't think it makes sense for HDFS since HDFS stopped advertising DNs by hostname a long time ago (HADOOP-985). Also per HADOOP-8134 and HBASE-4109, I don't think this feature works, as it returns the PTR record verbatim instead of the hostname (eg PTR record may have a trailing ".", ".lan" etc that may not resolve).
> How about we remove this feature from trunk and 23?   We can deprecate in 1.0, though I doubt anyone is using it.  This is an incompatible change. DNS is annotated LimitedPrivate and Unstable but HBase uses it so will file need to file a jira there (they use this via HBASE-1279 and HBASE-1279).
