8d4db050f3 Have hosts file support for DnsNameResolver, close #4074
Motivation:

On contrary to `DefaultNameResolver`, `DnsNameResolver` doesn't currently honor hosts file.

Modifications:

* Introduce `HostsFileParser` that parses `/etc/hosts` or `C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` depending on the platform
* Introduce `HostsFileEntriesResolver` that uses the former to resolve host names
* Make `DnsNameResolver` check his `HostsFileEntriesResolver` prior to trying to resolve names against the DNS server
* Introduce `DnsNameResolverBuilder` so we now have a builder for `DnsNameResolver`s
* Additionally introduce a `CompositeNameResolver` that takes several `NameResolver`s and tries to resolve names by delegating sequentially
* Change `DnsNameResolver.asAddressResolver` to return a composite and honor hosts file

Result:

Hosts file support when using `DnsNameResolver`.
Consistent behavior with JDK implementation.

6393506b97 Extract SocketAdress logic from NameResolver
Motivation:

As discussed in #4529, NameResolver design shouldn't be resolving SocketAddresses (or String name + port) and return InetSocketAddresses. It should resolve String names and return InetAddresses.
This SocketAddress to InetSocketAddresses resolution is actually a different concern, used by Bootstrap.

Modifications:

Extract SocketAddress to InetSocketAddresses resolution concern to a new class hierarchy named AddressResolver.
These AddressResolvers delegate to NameResolvers.

Result:

Better separation of concerns.

Note that new AddressResolvers generate a bit more allocations because of the intermediate Promise and List<InetAddress>.

fdfe3149ba Provide more control over DnsNameResolver.query() / Add NameResolver.resolveAll()
Related issues:
- #3971
- #3973
- #3976
- #4035

Motivation:

1. Previously, DnsNameResolver.query() retried the request query by its
own. It prevents a user from deciding when to retry or stop. It is also
impossible to get the response object whose code is not NOERROR.

2. NameResolver does not have an operation that resolves a host name
into multiple addresses, like InetAddress.getAllByName()

Modifications:

- Changes related with DnsNameResolver.query()
  - Make query() not retry
    - Move the retry logic to DnsNameResolver.resolve() instead.
  - Make query() fail the promise only when I/O error occurred or it
    failed to get a response
  - Add DnsNameResolverException and use it when query() fails so that
    the resolver can give more information about the failure
  - query() does not cache anymore.

- Changes related with NameResolver.resolveAll()
  - Add NameResolver.resolveAll()
  - Add SimpleNameResolver.doResolveAll()

- Changes related with DnsNameResolver.resolve() and resolveAll()
  - Make DnsNameResolveContext abstract so that DnsNameResolver can
    decide to get single or multiple addresses from it
  - Re-implement cache so that the cache works for resolve() and
    resolveAll()
  - Add 'traceEnabled' property to enable/disable trace information

- Miscellaneous changes
  - Use ObjectUtil.checkNotNull() wherever possible
  - Add InternetProtocolFamily.addressType() to remove repetitive
    switch-case blocks in DnsNameResolver(Context)
  - Do not raise an exception when decoding a truncated DNS response

Result:

- Full control over query()
- A user can now retrieve all addresses via (Dns)NameResolver.resolveAll()
- DNS cache works only for resolve() and resolveAll() now.

99c40431b9 Use InetSocketAddress.getHostName() instead of getHostString()
Related: #3478

Motivation:

DefaultNameResolver uses InetSocketAddress.getHostString() instead of
getHostName(). Because Netty uses the DefaultNameResolver by default and
getHostString() is available only since Java 7, a user cannot use Netty
on Java 6 anymore.

Modifications:

Use InetSocketAddress.getHostName() which is practically same and also
is available in Java 6.

Result:

Netty 4.1 runs on Java 6 again.

e848066cab Name resolver API and DNS-based name resolver
Motivation:

So far, we relied on the domain name resolution mechanism provided by
JDK.  It served its purpose very well, but had the following
shortcomings:

- Domain name resolution is performed in a blocking manner.
  This becomes a problem when a user has to connect to thousands of
  different hosts. e.g. web crawlers
- It is impossible to employ an alternative cache/retry policy.
  e.g. lower/upper bound in TTL, round-robin
- It is impossible to employ an alternative name resolution mechanism.
  e.g. Zookeeper-based name resolver

Modification:

- Add the resolver API in the new module: netty-resolver
- Implement the DNS-based resolver: netty-resolver-dns
  .. which uses netty-codec-dns
- Make ChannelFactory reusable because it's now used by
  io.netty.bootstrap, io.netty.resolver.dns, and potentially by other
  modules in the future
  - Move ChannelFactory from io.netty.bootstrap to io.netty.channel
  - Deprecate the old ChannelFactory
  - Add ReflectiveChannelFactory

Result:

It is trivial to resolve a large number of domain names asynchronously.
