***UNCHECKED*** [jira] [Commented] (ZOOKEEPER-2184) Zookeeper Client should re-resolve hosts when connection attempts fail

    Looking at the static initialization block in InetAddressCachePolicy more deeply, the default TTL is 30 seconds if there is no SecurityManager installed.
    So caching a positive lookup forever in the Java-level cache is the default only if there is a SecurityManager installed and the TTL is not overridden by "networkaddress.cache.ttl" to a different value.
    Default caching policy for a negative lookup is 0 (never cache).
    Now the only question is whether 30 seconds default caching is ok or too much for ZK.

> Testing in a Docker environment with a single Kafka instance using a single Zookeeper instance. Restarting the Zookeeper container will cause it to receive a new IP address. Kafka will never be able to reconnect to Zookeeper and will hang indefinitely. Updating DNS or /etc/hosts with the new IP address will not help the client to reconnect as the zookeeper/client/StaticHostProvider resolves the connection string hosts at creation time and never re-resolves.
> A solution would be for the client to notice that connection attempts fail and attempt to re-resolve the hostnames in the connectString.
