------------------------------------------
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.
