Therfore I proffer maps neatly to rename methods to resolveHostname and resolveAddress such that the mapping are getByName --> resolveHostname and getByAddress --> resolveAddress.

Thank you, Mark, for highlighting the naming contradiction in the `InetAddressResolver` interface method names. It can be solved by making these names symmetrical to `InetAddress` API.
In 302264810725f86a4569161754f7b052c78fd826 `InetAddressResolver` method names have been updated to stress input parameters type, which brings them in sync with `InetAddress` API:
- `InetAddressResolver.lookupAddresses` is renamed to `InetAddressResolver.lookupByName`
- `InetAddressResolver.lookupHostName` is renamed to `InetAddressResolver.lookupByAddress`
