Hi, I am relatively new to Hadoop and I am trying to utilize HDFS for own application where I want to take advantage of data partitioning HDFS performs.
The idea is that I get list of individual blocks - BlockLocations of particular file and then directly read those (go to individual DataNodes). So far I found org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient.BlockReader to be the way to go. However I am struggling with instantiating the BlockReader() class, namely creating the "Token<BlockTokenIdentifier>". Is there an example Java code showing how to access individual blocks of particular file stored on HDFS ? Thanks in advance, David.
