Question 2

How can a client access a file on HDFS?

Accepted Answer

For the block location, the client contacts the NameNode (s). The NameNode then requests block locations from the DataNodes. The NameNode leads the client to the DataNode, holding the requested data block when the DataNodes react to it (s). Data is then read directly from the DataNode by the client.
