Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-10919:
-----------------------------------

Given a block ID you can use {{fsck -blockId}} to get the file it belongs to and other information. We could extend it to provide more information.

> We have fsck to find out blocks associated with a file, which is nice. Sometimes, we saw trouble with a specific block, we'd like to collect info about this block, such as
> * what file this block belong to, 
> * where the replicas of this block are located, 
> * whether the block is EC coded; 
> * if a block is EC coded, whether it's a data block, or code
> * if a block is EC coded, what's the codec.
> * if a block is EC coded, what's the block group
> * for the block group, what are the other blocks
> Create this jira to provide such a util, as dfsadmin, or a debug tool.
> Thanks.
