[jira] Created: (HADOOP-3862) Create network topology plugin that uses a configured rack ip mask

Create network topology plugin that uses a configured rack ip mask
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-3862
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3862
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Owen O'Malley


We should have a Java class that answers network topology questions by implementing DNSToSwitchMapping by using the host's IP address and a mask that defines the addresses that are on the same rack. Therefore, if your racks are defined by using the top 3 octets, you'd configure ff.ff.ff.00.

[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-3862) Create network topology plugin that uses a configured rack ip mask

Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-3862:
------------------------------------------

Typically, netmasks are either defined as 0xffffff00 or 255.255.255.0 .  ff.ff.ff.00 just looks weird to me. :)

Also, what happens if IPv6 is in use?
