What I mean by this is if I store a file /user/dir/a.index and this
file has
say 100 blocks in it where there is only enough space on any server
for 10
blocks; will the Hadoop filesystem store and replicate different
blocks on
different servers and give the client a single file view or does a
whole
file have to be stored and replicated across machines.
