Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8497:
-------------------------------------
Would a {{du}} option that reports sizes after multiplying by the replication
factor address this issue?
> Shell needs a way to list amount of physical consumed space in a directory

> Key: HADOOP-8497
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8497
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 1.0.3, 2.0.0-alpha, 3.0.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Andy Isaacson
>
> Currently, there is no way to see the physical consumed space for a
> directory. du lists the logical (pre-replication) space, and "fs -count" only
> displays the consumed space when a quota is set. This makes it hard for
> administrators to set a quota on a directory, since they have no way to
> determine a reasonable value.
