Default Block Size in HDFS

Hi,

I have read somewhere that default block size in Hadoop 2.4 is 256MB .
Is it correct ?
In which version default block size was 128MB ?

Thanks
Krish

Sorry forgot that "as of" meant "starting with" :-)

Actually 128 MB started around 2.2.0
2.0.5-alpha was still 64MB

In any case it's just a default, it is often raised on production

As of Hadoop 2.6, default blocksize is 128 MB (look for dfs.blocksize)
