Hey Ajith When you fire a hadoop fs -ls command on a dir you can see that on the listing the second column shows the replication factor. And there is a pretty good API provided by hadoop using which you can get almost any details from hdfs, you just need to write a java program.
Hope it helps Regards Bejoy K S -----Original Message----- From: Ajit Ratnaparkhi <ajit.ratnapar...@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:49:58 To: <hdfs-user@hadoop.apache.org> Reply-To: hdfs-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: Get Replication level of a file in HDFS.
