/**
 * Service-provider class for {@linkplain InetAddressResolver InetAddress resolvers}.
 *
 * <p> A resolver provider is a factory for custom implementations of {@linkplain
 * InetAddressResolver InetAddress resolvers}. A resolver defines operations for
 * looking up (resolving) host names and IP addresses.
 * <p>A resolver provider is a concrete subclass of this class that has a
 * zero-argument constructor and implements the abstract methods specified below.
 *
 * <p> A given invocation of the Java virtual machine maintains a single
 * system-wide resolver instance, which is used by
 * {@linkplain InetAddress##host-name-resolution
 * InetAddress}. It is set after the VM is fully initialized and when an
 * invocation of a method in {@link InetAddress} class triggers the first lookup
 * operation.
 *
 * <p id="system-wide-resolver"> A resolver provider is located and loaded by
 * {@link InetAddress} to create the system-wide resolver as follows:
 * <ol>
 *  <li>The {@link ServiceLoader} mechanism is used to locate an
 *      {@code InetAddressResolverProvider} using the
 *      system class loader. The order in which providers are located is
 *      {@linkplain ServiceLoader#load(java.lang.Class, java.lang.ClassLoader)
 *      implementation specific}.
 *      The first provider found will be used to instantiate the
 *      {@link InetAddressResolver InetAddressResolver} by invoking the
 *      {@link InetAddressResolverProvider#get(InetAddressResolverProvider.Configuration)}
 *      method. The returned {@code InetAddressResolver} will be set as the
 *      system-wide resolver.
 *  <li>If the previous step fails to find any resolver provider the
 *      {@linkplain InetAddress##built-in-resolver
 *      built-in resolver} will be set as the system-wide resolver.
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p> If instantiating a custom resolver from a provider discovered in
 * step 1 throws an error or exception, the system-wide resolver will not be
 * set and the error or exception will be propagated to the caller of the method
 * that triggered the lookup operation.
 * Otherwise, any lookup operation will be performed using the
 * <i>system-wide resolver</i>.
 *
 * @implNote {@link InetAddress} will use the <i>built-in resolver</i> for any lookup operation
 * that might occur before the VM is fully booted.
 *
