Hello, I have deployed Hadoop on a cluster of 20 machines. I set the replication factor to one. When I put a file (larger than HDFS block size) into HDFS, all the blocks are stored on the machine where the Hadoop put command is invoked.
For higher replication factor, I see the same behavior but the replicated blocks are stored randomly on all the other machines. Is this a normal behavior, if not what would be the cause? Thanks, Razen
