I think you must misunderstanding the architecture. I believe the "master node" that you talk about is actually a NameNode, the client must talk with NameNode. the namenode will check if the file that you try to write existed or not. if the file doesn't exist, NN will create a record in NN and return a DFSOutputSteam. the data will be writed in this OutputStream. The DFSOutputStream will handle which datanode the data will be writed to.
So, the only entry point is the NameNode. you can not connect to the other node to write the file.
