hdfsGetHosts()
Supported by libMapRClient for hadoop-2.x
Gets hostnames where a particular block, as determined by the offset and block size, is stored. Due to replication, a single block could be present on multiple hosts.
This function can be useful for understanding the performance implications of file access, and to validate or verify changes to the replication factor.
