  'replication': 1,
  'storagePolicy': 0,
  'type': 'FILE'
}

Testing

HdfsCLI is tested against both WebHDFS and HttpFS. There are two ways of running tests (see scripts/ for helpers to set up a test HDFS cluster):

$ HDFSCLI_TEST_URL=http://localhost:50070 nosetests # Using a namenode's URL.
$ HDFSCLI_TEST_ALIAS=dev nosetests # Using an alias.
