*BP-13-7914115-10.122.195.197-14909166276345 is the blockpool information*
*blk_1073742025 <1073742025> is the block name;*

*these names are "private" to teh HDFS system and user should not use them,
right?*
*But if you really want ot know this, you can check the fsck code to see
whether they are available;*
