Motivation:
At the moment there is not way for the user to know if resolving a domain was failed because the domain was unkown or because of an IO error / timeout. If it was caused by an timeout / IO error the user may want to retry the query. Also if the query was failed because of an IO error / timeout we should not cache it.
Modifications:
- Add DnsNameResolverTimeoutException and include it in the UnkownHostException if the domain could not be resolved because of an timeout. This will allow the user to retry the query when inspecting the cause.
- Do not cache IO errors / timeouts
- Add unit test
Result:
Easier for users to implement retries for DNS querys and not cache IO errors / timeouts.

Motivation:
DnsCache (an interface) is coupled to DnsCacheEntry (a final class). This means that DnsCache implementations can't implement their own DnsCacheEntry objects if the default behavior isn't appropriate.
Modifications:
- DnsCacheEntry should be moved to DefaultDnsCache as it is an implementation detail
- DnsCache#cache(..) should return a new DnsCacheEntry
- The methods which from DnsCacheEntry that were used outside the scope of DefaultDnsCache should be moved into an interface
Result:
DnsCache is more extensible and not tightly coupled to a default implementation of DnsCacheEntry.
Motivation:
RFC7871 defines an extension which allows to request responses for a given subset.
Modifications:
- Add DnsOptPseudoRrRecord which can act as base class for extensions based on EDNS(0) as defined in RFC6891
- Add DnsOptEcsRecord to support the Client Subnet in DNS Queries extension
- Add tests
Result:
Client Subnet in DNS Queries extension is now supported.
Motivation:
Some codecs should be considered unstable as these are relative new. For this purpose we should introduce an annotation which these codecs should us to be marked as unstable in terms of API.
Modifications:
- Add UnstableApi annotation and use it on codecs that are not stable
- Move http2.hpack to http2.internal.hpack as it is internal.
Result:
Better document unstable APIs.
Motivation:
There were some warning in the resolver-dns code base.
Modifications:
- Fix javadocs
- Use the base class to call static method.
Result:
Cleaner code.
Motivation:
Caching is currently nested in DnsResolver.
It should also be possible to extend DnsResolver to ba able to pass a different cache on each resolution attemp.
Modifications:
* Introduce DnsCache, NoopDnsCache and DefaultDnsCache. The latter contains all the current caching logic that was extracted.
* Introduce protected versions of doResolve and doResolveAll that can be used as extension points to build resolvers that bypass the main cache and use a different one on each resolution.
Result:
Isolated caching logic. Better extensibility.
