Description

Currently, the favoredNodes flavor of the DFSClient.create implementation does a call to inetSocketAddressInstance.getAddress().getHostAddress() This wouldn't work if the inetSocketAddressInstance is unresolved (instance created via InetSocketAddress.createUnresolved()). The DFSClient API should handle both cases of favored-nodes' InetSocketAddresses (resolved/unresolved) passed to it.
