I'm dealing with kind of a bizarre use case where I need to make sure that File A is local to Machine A, File B is local to Machine B, etc. When copying a file to HDFS, is there a way to control which machines that file will reside on? I know that any given file will be replicated across three machines, but I need to be able to say "File A will DEFINITELY exist on Machine A". I don't really care about the other two machines -- they could be any machines on my cluster.
Thank you.
