Description
During the registration process of TaskManager, JobManager would create a
TaskManagerLocation instance, which tries to get hostname of the TaskManager via reverse DNS lookup.
However, this always fails in Kubernetes environment, because for pods that are not exposed by Services, their IPs cannot be resolved to domains by coredns, and InetAddress#getCanonicalHostName() would take ~5 seconds to return, blocking the whole registration process.
Therefore Flink should provide a configuration parameter to turn off reverse DNS lookup. Also, even when hostname is actually needed, this could be done lazily to avoid blocking registration of other TaskManagers.
