Description

Currently FsShell report HDFS usage with "hadoop fs -dus <path>" command. Since replication level is per file level, it would be nice to add raw disk usage including the replication factor (maybe "hadoop fs -dus -raw <path>"?). This will allow to assess resource usage more accurately. – Alex K
