Motivation:
We can just use Objects.requireNonNull(...) as a replacement for ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(....)
Modifications:
- Use Objects.requireNonNull(...)
Result:
Less code to maintain.
Motivation:
We can use the diamond operator these days.
Modification:
Use diamond operator whenever possible.
Result:
More modern code and less boiler-plate.
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:
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:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6736
Motivation:
DnsServerAddresses loads the default DNS servers used for DNS resolution in a static initialization block. This is subject to blocking and may cause unexpected delays. We can move this initialization to DefaultDnsServerAddressStreamProvider where it is more expected to load the JDK's default configuration.
Modifications:
- Move all the static initialization from DnsServerAddresses to DefaultDnsServerAddressStreamProvider
- Deprecate static methods in DnsServerAddresses which have moved to DefaultDnsServerAddressStreamProvider
- Remove usage of deprecated methods in DnsServerAddresses
Result:
Usage of JDK's blocking DNS resolver is not required to use resolver-dns.
Motivation:
Recently DnsServerAddressStreamProvider was introduced to allow control for each query as to which DNS server should be used for resolution to respect the local host's default DNS server configuration. However resolver-dns also accepts a stream of DNS servers to use by default, but this stream is not host name aware. This creates an ambiguity as to which method is used to determine the DNS server to user during resolution, and in which order. We can remove this ambiguity and provide a more general API by just supporting DnsServerAddressStreamProvider.
Modifications:
- Remove the fixed DnsServerAddresses and instead only accept a DnsServerAddressStreamProvider.
- Add utility methods to help use DnsServerAddressStreamProvider for a single entry, a list of entries, and get the default for the current machine.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6573.
Motivation:
The JDK uses gethostbyname for blocking hostname resoltuion. gethostbyname can be configured on Unix systems according to [1][2]. This may impact the name server that is used to resolve particular domains or just override the default fall-back resolver. DnsNameResolver currently ignores these configuration files which means the default resolution behavior is different than the JDK. This may lead to unexpected resolution failures which succeed when using the JDK's resolver.
Modifications:
- Add an interface which can override what DnsServerAddressStream to use for a given hostname
- Provide a Unix specific implementation of this interface and implement [1][2]. Some elements may be ignored sortlist, timeout, etc...
Result:
DnsNameResolver behaves more like the JDK resolver by default.
