Hi,

I am newbie in Hadoop. I want to know how to get information of the storage of a file in HDFS.

I have a master and 10 workers. I am connected to the master, in the master I make a put to HDFS

for a local file. I would like to know if there is any command to know how has been distributed this file in

the different nodes of the cluster

Thanks in advance

hdfs fsck will give you answers for your questions, there are multiple command line parameters, you can show the block's location as well.
