Default is for every 512 bytes of data, 4 bytes of checksum are stored. In this case additional 32MB data.

For example, I have a 2GB file, the replicate factor of HDSF is 2, when the file is uploaded to HDFS, should HDFS use 4GB to store it or more then 4GB to store it? If it takes more than 4GB space, why? Thanks Ramon -- http://hortonworks.com/download/ -- http://hortonworks.com/download/
