HBase block replication

Does HBase replicate blocks similar to how HDFS replicates for 
redundancy reasons? Where can this be configured or is it already 
managed by the hdfs-site.xml dfs.replication property?

Thanks

Hi there-

Look at the Hbase files on the HDFS file system...

http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#trouble.namenode.hbase.objects

... and run some checks like 'fsck'

How can this be tested and or verified? Would/should it show up under 
'Online Regions' on the region server status page 
(http://hbase-region1:60030/rs-status)?

Thanks

HBase does not replicate blocks; the underlying FS does it for us.
