If you don't set any replication factor, HDFS client will use the default setting unless you edit the client confs.
Three ways you can play around with replication: 1. Java API 2. Client Confs 3. Cluster Confs (Namenode conf) -Bharath ________________________________ From: Ralf Heyde <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 3:01 PM Subject: Hadoop doesnt use Replication Level of Namenode Hello, I've writed an HDFS Client which works pretty well. But . on my Namenode I configured a replication leven of 2 . on my Client - the config - hold a value of 1. If I now write a file from my HDFSClient to the HDFS it gets the replication-value of 1. I know that I can manually put the property to 2 in my Java Code - but: Is there any possibility OR workaround to use/get the configuration of the Namenode? My current workaround is the copying of all configuration files from the namenode to the local client - but that's *** . Does anybody has an idea? Thanks, Ralf
