JDK 8 RFR 8010371: getaddrinfo can fail with EAI_SYSTEM/EAGAIN, causes UnknownHostException to be thrown

[Brian Burkhalter]

Resuming this discussion …

Thanks for the previous comments. My feeling at this point is to do one of two things:

A) defer to something after JDK 8, or
B) on EAI_AGAIN do not retry but set the cause of the UAE to "new SomeException(gai_strerror(error))" where SomeException could be for example Exception, RuntimeException, or IOException.

Comments?

Thanks,

Brian
