Hi,

I am trying to find the part of Hadoop that is responsible of distributing
the input file fragments to the datanodes. I need to understand the source
code that is responsible of distributing the input files.

Can anyone help me in detecting this part of code. I tried to read the
namenode.java file but I could not find anything that can help me.

Thanks in advance,
Salam

Assuming you speak of the HDFS file-writing code, look at DFSClient
and its utilization of DFSOutputStream (see the write(…) areas).

What I want to do exactly is redistributing the input file fragments over the
nodes of cluster according some calculations. I need to find the part that
starts to distribute the input file to add my code instead of.

I guess you means to set your own strategy of block distribution.
If this, just hack the code as following clue:
FSNamesystem.getAdditionalBlock() ---> BlockManager.chooseTarget()
 ---> BlockPlacementPolicy.chooseTarget().
And you need to implement your own BlockPlacementPolicy.
Then if the client request addBlock RPC, the NameNode will assign DataNode
to store the replicas as your rules.
