How is hdfs block size different from traditional file system block size?..

Answer / Ajay Chaturtvedi

HDFS block size is configurable, while the block size in a traditional file system is usually fixed. Additionally, HDFS block size can be larger than that of traditional file systems to reduce the number of blocks and improve data locality.
