I'm not aware of a way to work with blocks using the public APIs. The easiest way to do it is probably to retrieve the block IDs and then go grab those blocks from the data nodes' local file systems directly.

Hello list,

I have a file on HDFS that is divided into 10 blocks (partitions).

Is there any way to retrieve data from a specific block? (e.g: using
the blockID).

Except that, is there any option to write the contents of each block
(or of one block) into separate files?

Thank you very much,
Thodoris
