Motivation:
ba594bcf4a added a utility to parse searchdomains defined in /etc/resolv.conf but did not correctly handle the case when multiple are defined that are seperated by either whitespace or tab.
Modifications:
- Correctly parse multiple entries
- Add unit test.
Result:
Correctly parse multiple searchdomain entries.
Motivation
Applications should not depend on internal packages with Java 9 and later. This cause a warning now, but will break in future versions of Java.
Modification
This change adds methods to UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider (following after #6844) that parse /etc/resolv.conf for domain and search entries. Then DnsNameResolver does not need to rely on sun.net.dns.ResolverConfiguration to do this.
Result
Fixes#8318. Furthermore, at least in my testing with Java 11, this also makes multiple search entries work properly (previously I was only getting the first entry).
Motivation:
UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider currently throws an exception if /etc/resolver exists but it empty. This shouldn't be an exception and can be tolerated as if there is no contribution from /etc/resolver.
Modifications:
- Treat /etc/resolver as present and empty the same as not being present
Result:
UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider initialization can tolerate empty /etc/resolver directory.
Motivation:
InetSocketAddress#getHostName() may attempt a reverse lookup which may lead to test failures because the expected address will not match.
Modifications:
- Use InetSocketAddress#getHostString() which will not attempt any lookups and instead return the original String
Result:
UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProviderTest is more reliable.
Motivation:
The DNS resolver supports search domains. However the ndots are not correctly enforced. The search domain should only be appended under the following scenario [1]:
> Resolver queries having fewer than ndots dots (default is 1) in them will be attempted using each component of the search path in turn until a match is found.
The DNS resolver current appends the search domains if ndots is 0 which should never happen (because no domain can have less than 0 dots).
[1] https://linux.die.net/man/5/resolv.conf
Modifications:
- Parse /etc/resolv.conf to get the default value for ndots on Unix platforms
- The search domain shouldn't be used if ndots is 0
- Avoid failing a promise to trigger the search domain queries in DnsNameResolverContext#resolve
Result:
More correct usage of search domains in the DNS resolver.

Motivation:
UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider allows the default name server address stream to be null, but there should always be a default stream to fall back to ([1] Search Strategy).
UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider currently shuffles the names servers are multiple are present, but the defined behavior is to try them sequentially [2].

Modifications:
- UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider should always use the first file provided to derive the default domain server address stream. Currently if there are multiple domain names in the file identified by the first argument of the constructor then one will be selected at random.
- UnixResolverDnsServerAddressStreamProvider should return name servers sequentially.
- Reduce access level on some methods which don't have known use-cases externally.
Result:
