> This JIRA is to add a per-file "over-replication" factor to HDFS. As
> mentioned in HDFS-13069, the over-replication factor will be the excess
> replicas that will be allowed to exist for a file or block. This is
> beneficial if the application deems additional replicas for a file are
> needed. In the case of HDFS-13069, it would allow copies of data in PROVIDED
> storage to be cached locally in HDFS in a read-through manner.
> The Namenode will not proactively meet the over-replication i.e., it does not
> schedule replications if the number of replicas for a block is less than
> (replication factor + over-replication factor) as long as they are more than
> the replication factor of the file.
