dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-578: --------------------------------------- There are many other parameters that the client can default to the server settings. For example, io.file.buffer.size. What if we allow an option for the client to fetch a subset of the configuration from the Namenode and then use that and then overlay the client-side hdfs-site.xml? > Support for using server default values for blockSize and replication when > creating a file > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-578 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-578 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: hdfs client, name-node > Reporter: Kan Zhang > Assignee: Kan Zhang > > This is a sub-task of HADOOP-4952.
