ResourceReplication Property

The replication factor of the file.

Syntax

__property int ResourceReplication[int ResourceIndex] = { read=FResourceReplication };

Default Value

0

Remarks

The replication factor of the file.

This property reflects the replication factor of the file. Always 0 for directories.

A file's replication factor determines how many copies of the file's data ("replicas") are maintained by HDFS. For example, a replication factor of 3 means that HDFS will maintain 2 replicas in addition to the original file. Thus, the minimum replication factor a file can have is 1.

The ResourceIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ResourceCount property.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.
