Hello Nitin,
HDFS replication factor is always associated with file level. When your
copying or creating file for any directory will set to default replicas.
but you can specify your replication when creating or copying files
hadoop fs -D dfs.replication=2 -put foo.txt fsput
and in java
FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(new Configuration());
fs.setReplication(new Path("hdfs_path:/foldername/filename"), (short)1);
