Description

IPV6 addresses not handles currently in the common library methods. IPV6 can return address as "0:0:0:0:0:0:port". Some utility methods such as NetUtils#createSocketAddress(), NetUtils#normalizeHostName(), NetUtils#getHostNameOfIp() to name a few, do not handle IPV6 address and expect address to be of format host:port.

Until IPV6 is formally supported, I propose disabling IPV6 for junit tests to avoid problems seen in HDFS-1891.
