> I am going through the HDFS Namenode and Datanode code and I am trying to see if the DataNode is aware of the names of the files that are stored in it (and other metadata as well).
> Assuming that we have the most simple case: 
> 1 NameNode
> 1 DataNode
> 1 single machine running HDFS with replication factor 1. 
> and considering the way HDFS works a use case could be: 
> A client requests to write a file from local to HDFS (for example: "hdfs dfs -put file /file")
> He first communicates with NameNode and gets where this file should be stored.
> Then, after receiving an answer, he requests to the DataNode to store that file.
> (At that point I am going to be a little more specific about the code)
> The DataNode has a DataXceiverServer class which runs and waits for requests. When a request comes, it starts a DataXceiver thread and try to serve that request. What I would like to know is, if at that specific point the DataNode knows the name of the file that it is going to store. I spent hours of debugging but I could not find it. Is it somewhere there, or only the NameNode knows the name of that file?
