What happens to a read operation when the file is moved to trash in HDFS?

I have a basic question regarding the HDFS file read. I want to know what happens, when the following steps are followed:

  1. Client opens the file for reading and starts reading the file.
  2. In the meantime, someone deletes the file and file moves to the trash folder

Will Step 1. succeed? I feel, since the client has already opened the file and file still exists in .trash, the client should continue to read the file.

HDFS: How quickly can I increase the number of replicas?

My cluster version hdfs 2.2 stable ( 2 ha namenodes, 10 datanodes). I was command bin/hdfs dfs -setrep -R 2 / ( replication 1 to 2 )

I have about 400000 under replicated blocks so it will take about 4 more days. Is there any way to speed it up?
