I am looking for a way to create a file (e.g. using copyFromLocal) in Apache HDFS and set the Erasure Coding policy in the process.
According to this page, I can use hdfs ec --setPolicy -path <folder> -policy RS-6-3-1024k to set the policy for a directory and its children. Is there a way to set the policy for a file when I create it, independent of the policy of the parent?
As far as I can tell, there is currently no way to do this in the HDFS client v3.0.0 beta.
