-------------------------------------
Attachment: blockSize.patch
The blockSize a persistent attribute of the file. It is stored in the INode in
the fsimage. It can be specified only at file creation time. HDFS makes every
effort to chunk a file into blocks of size specified by blockSize.
> HDFS does not record the blocksize for a file

> The blocksize that a file is created with is not recorded by the Namenode. It
