Kartheek,

Its simple enough to trace back a FileSystem - DFSClient - NameNode call in
code, for the operation of creating a file (and thereafter a block).
What you are looking for, specifically, is in FSNamesystem#allocateBlock(…).

you can find the code directly in FSNameSystem#allocateBlock
It is just a random long number and will ensure that blockid is not created
already by NN.
Regards,
Uma
