this seems like an FAQ but I didn't explicitly see it in the docs: Is the minmium size a file occupies on HDFS controlled by the block size, i.e. would using the default block size of 64 B result in consumption of 64 MB if I stored a file of 1 byte?
No. The last block in a file is only be as long as it needs to be. Doug
