I have a client program that creates sequencefile, which essentially merges small files into a big file. I was wondering how is sequence file splitting the data accross nodes. When I start the sequence file is empty. Does it get split when it reaches the dfs.block size? If so then does it mean that I am always writing to just one node at a given point in time?
If I start a new client writing a new sequence file then is there a way to select a different data node?
