@Pranshu Pranshu, You can use "setrep" command for setting replication factor for files and directories: setrep Usage: hadoop fs -setrep [-R] [-w] <numReplicas> <path> Changes the replication factor of a file. If path is a directory then the command recursively changes the replication factor of all files under the directory tree rooted at path. Options:
The -w flag requests that the command wait for the replication to complete. This can potentially take a very long time. The -R flag is accepted for backwards compatibility. It has no effect. Example: To set replication of an individual file to 3, you can use below command: ./bin/hadoop dfs -setrep -w 3 /path/to/file You can also do this recursively. To change replication of entire HDFS to 3, you can use below command: ./bin/hadoop dfs -setrep -R -w 3 / Exit Code: Returns 0 on success and -1 on error. - Hope this helps you to solve this problem?
