dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-578:
---------------------------------------
There are many other parameters that the client can default to the server
settings. For example, io.file.buffer.size. What if we allow an option for the
client to fetch a subset of the configuration from the Namenode and then use
that and then overlay the client-side hdfs-site.xml?
> Support for using server default values for blockSize and replication when
> creating a file
