Description

In Balancer Dispatch.java:

   private void dispatch() {
      LOG.info("Start moving " + this);

      Socket sock = new Socket();
      DataOutputStream out = null;
      DataInputStream in = null;
      try {
        sock.connect(
            NetUtils.createSocketAddr(target.getDatanodeInfo().getXferAddr()),
            HdfsConstants.READ_TIMEOUT);

getXferAddr() is called without taking into consideration of dfs.client.use.datanode.hostname setting, this would possibly fail balancer run issued from outside a cluster.

Thanks caseyjbrotherton for reporting the issue.
