Changing the replication factor of particular file

Hi,
     Is there any method to change the replication factor of any particular
file.
Means that, if any file is not important then we should decrease its
replication factor and the file that is more important, we should increase
its replication factor.

hadoop dfs -setrep 1 filename

Add -r if you want to change replication recursively.

Usage: hdfs dfs -setrep [-R] <path>


hdfs dfs -setrep -w 3 -R /user/hadoop/dir1

-w  is there if you want to wait till replication finished.

*Thanks & Regards    *
