                 Key: HDFS-947
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-947
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: dhruba borthakur
            Assignee: dhruba borthakur


A client that uses the Hftp protocol to read a file is redirected by the 
namenode to a random datanode. It would be nice if the client gets redirected 
to a datanode that has the maximum number of local replicas of the blocks of 
the file.
