dns: implement {ttl: true} for dns.resolve4() and dns.resolve6() #9296

bnoordhuis · 2016-10-26T16:48:39Z

See discussion in #5893 and other issues. We can retrieve the TTL for A and AAAA records looked up through the dns.resolve() function family.

I'll write up documentation and nice commit logs if we decide this is something we want to do. Example output:

$ out/Release/node -e 'dns.resolve4("google.com", {ttl:true}, console.log)'
null [ { address: '82.94.228.160', ttl: 299 },
  { address: '82.94.228.173', ttl: 299 },
  { address: '82.94.228.166', ttl: 299 },
  { address: '82.94.228.180', ttl: 299 },
  { address: '82.94.228.159', ttl: 299 },
  { address: '82.94.228.167', ttl: 299 },
  { address: '82.94.228.181', ttl: 299 },
  { address: '82.94.228.187', ttl: 299 },
  { address: '82.94.228.153', ttl: 299 },
  { address: '82.94.228.146', ttl: 299 },
  { address: '82.94.228.152', ttl: 299 },
  { address: '82.94.228.174', ttl: 299 } ]

How about also supporting a 4-argument signature of dns.resolve?

bnoordhuis · 2016-10-31T10:12:59Z

How about also supporting a 4-argument signature of dns.resolve?

I thought about that but I decided to punt on what to do when someone requests the TTL for a non-A/AAAA record.

silverwind · 2016-10-31T16:06:05Z

I could also see the second argument to it being made a object, so we support two signatures:

dns.resolve(hostname[, rrtype], callback)
dns.resolve(hostname[, options], callback)

options could then include rrtype and ttl, and possibly more future additions like class. We could deprecate the first signature in v8.

bnoordhuis · 2016-11-01T09:31:44Z

Sure, but we'd still need to come up with a policy for dealing with bad inputs: throw, ignore, log a warning, something else. I figured it's easier to just sidestep the issue and leave dns.resolve() alone for now.

jasnell · 2016-11-02T14:20:08Z

I'm a bit -1 on the two signature approach. Perhaps an rrtype option can be added alongside the ttl option? e.g. dns.resolve(hostname, {ttl: true, rrtype: 'A'}, console.log). That said, I'm not entirely convinced we should add the rrtype option for the same reasons @bnoordhuis outlines.

silverwind · 2016-11-02T15:23:13Z

rrtype option can be added alongside the ttl

Yes, that's my plan. Currently the second argument is only accepted as a string. We can simply typecheck if it's string or object, and throw otherwise. Having object support in all resolve* methods will certainly pave the way for more additions in the future. I'm thinking about servers and class options for example.

silverwind · 2016-11-03T18:43:07Z

@bnoordhuis I think it'd be better if we just go all the way and add TTL support to all methods. Having only the A/AAAA shorthands support it would be quite confusing. What are you exactly worried about regarding input validation? Looks to be a simple case of string/object check and throw otherwise.

bnoordhuis · 2016-11-03T19:27:02Z

We can't add TTL support for all methods because c-ares only supports it for A and AAAA records.

silverwind · 2016-11-03T19:33:06Z

Oh dang, didn't realize that stupid limitation. In that case I guess you found a good compromise.

bnoordhuis · 2016-11-15T18:35:22Z

Any reason why we decided to not land it on v4?

indutny · 2017-06-08T20:42:32Z

Another sincere question, how to use this code on both v6.11.0 and v6.10.0 😉?

gibfahn · 2017-06-08T23:37:40Z

Any reason why we decided to not land it on v4?

Mostly because Node 4 is already in maintenance mode, and no-one was pushing really strongly for it.

MylesBorins · 2017-06-09T19:55:00Z

@indutny we are not doing minors for 4 after maintenance mode.

There is no way to run it on 6.10.0 without manually landing the patch yourself

indutny · 2017-06-09T19:58:34Z

@MylesBorins yeah, it is too late to ask for v4 indeed. I was just curious why it didn't get there in November 2016, when the change landed in master.

As for v6.10.0, here is what I has to come up with: indutny/redns@4fee7b4 . Guess it was mostly a rant about adding new signature to the API method that throws on older node.js versions.

indutny · 2017-06-09T19:59:07Z

Erm, perhaps I phrased it wrong. I mean that dns.resolve4(host, options, callback) works on v6.11.0 and throws on v6.10.0. This was a reason for my little rant.

MylesBorins · 2017-06-09T20:11:55Z

It didn't get in earlier because no one asked for it... the minors are primarily done based on commits that people request backports of. We ended up including this in 6.11 due to this.

Not really sure a better way to handle this for 6.10.0... definitely a valid point regarding new apis throwing on older versions. This is something we should keep in mind for future minors
