Thanks Tariq, It really helped me to understand but just one another doubt that if reading is not a parallel process then to ready a file of 100GB and hdfs block size is 128MB. It will take lot much to read the complete file but it's not the scenerio in the real time. And second question is write operations as well is sequential process ? And will every datanode have their own data streamer which listen to data queue to get the packets and create pipeline. So, can you kindly help me to get clear idea of hdfs read and write operations.

Input splits to be precise. On the other hand if you have a standalone java program then it's just a single thread process and will read the data sequentially.
