------------------------------------------

             Summary: Changing the replication factor for a directory should 
apply to new files too
                 Key: HDFS-8436
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8436
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Mala Chikka Kempanna


Changing the replication factor for a directory will only affect the existing 
files and the new files under the directory will get created with the default 
replication factor (dfs.replication from hdfs-site.xml) of the cluster. 

I would expect new files written under a directory to have the same replication 
factor set for the directory itself.
