Pavan, Moving to hdfs-...@hadoop.apache.org (bcc'd original destination). Please use appropriate lists for queries to get the best responses.
Also helps stating what version/branch of Hadoop you're attempting to work on.

FSNamesystem there would use a BlockManager, which uses a DatanodeManager maintains a list of DataNodeDescriptors, and each of those contain a BlockInfo 'list' structure, which carry finalized blocks. While I'm not sure what you're attempting to do or how you're attempting to do it, if you have access to the live FSNamesystem object, you may get a complete iterator for a node via: namesystem.getBlockManager().getDatanodeManager().getDatanode(dataNodeID).getBlockIterator() And then iterate upon that for each BlockInfo object, which has all the per-block metadata you need. Where dataNodeID is a DatanodeID identifier (You can alternatively use the DatanodeManager#getDatanodeByHost(String host) call). Happy hacking :) (Please feel free to correct me if there's a more optimal, or direct way to get what he wants.) -- Harsh J
