HDFS shell command setrep runs for ever

[Kalyana Sundaram Balasubramanian]

Hello There,

Just trying my hands on with HDFS shell commands. meanwhile the setrep command runs forever and does not returns at all.

This is what I entered in the command prompt.

$./hadoop dfs -setrep -w 5 -R /OhMyGod/

This is what the console shows and with the periods being appended.

Replication 5 set: hdfs://localhost:50000/OhMyGod/textFile_01.txt
Replication 5 set: hdfs://localhost:50000/OhMyGod/textFile_02.txt
Replication 5 set: hdfs://localhost:50000/OhMyGod/textFile_03.txt
Waiting for hdfs://localhost:50000/OhMyGod/textFile_01.txt ..................
..............................................................................................................................................................

Why is this command waiting for? What am i missing? Please throw some light.
Thanks for your time.

Regards
Kalyan
