Can i make a node just an HDFS client to put/get data into hadoop

[Usman Waheed]

Hi All,

Is it possible to make a node just a hadoop client so that it can 
put/get files into HDFS but not act as a namenode or datanode?
I already have a master node and 3 datanodes but need to execute 
puts/gets into hadoop in parallel using more than just one machine other 
than the master.

Thanks,
Usman
