> When a RS has uppercase letter in its hostname, e.g. Harpertown08-15.sh.intel.com. Then, there will be two RS entries in master report, they are
>  harpertown08-15.sh.intel.com
>  Harpertown08-15.sh.intel.com
> This leads to wrong region allocation.
> This problem is caused by the implementation of java.net.InetSocketAddress.
> The logic is:
> 1. RS Harpertown08-15.sh.intel.com sends its DNS resolved hostname harpertown08-15.sh.intel.com to master for registration in HRegionServer.reportForDuty().
> 2. Master handles it and returns harpertown08-15.sh.intel.com via HServerAddress object to RS to notify it this new name (actually the same as the one reported by RS).
> 3. HServerAddress deserialize this object by first read out hostname as string ("harpertown08-15.sh.intel.com") and construct a InetSocketAddress object.
> 4. RS get the new name by call this InetSocketAddress.getHostName() method which returns Harpertown08-15.sh.intel.com instead.
> 5. In latter hearbeat communication (HRegionServer.tryRegionServerReport()), RS uses this new name (Harpertown08-15.sh.intel.com) to report to master and master regard it as a new RS. Thus, two RS entries exist.
