When you start the NameNode in Linux Machine, it will listen on one address.You
can configure that address in NameNode by using fs.default.name.
>From the clients, you can give this address to connect to your NameNode.
initialize API will take URI and configuration.
Assume if your NameNode is running on hdfs://10.18.52.63:9000
Then you can caonnect to your NameNode like below.
FileSystem fs =new DistributedFileSystem();
fs.initialize(new URI("hdfs://10.18.52.63:9000/"), new Configuration());
Please go through the below mentioned docs, you will more understanding.

In DFS namenode will be responsible for only nameSpace.
in simple words to understand quickly the flow:
Clients will ask NameNode to give some DNs to copy the data. Then NN will
create file entry in NameSpace and also will return the block entries based on
client request. Then clients directly will connect to the DNs and copy the data.
Reading data back also will the sameway.
I hope you will understand better now :-)
