Subject: how to set default replication factor for specific directories

Hi,

Is there any way for setting the default replication factor for specific
directories?
The default replication factor is 3 for the cluster. I don't want to change
this global default, but I want specific directories to have different
replication factor.
I can use the following command to set the replication factor of files
after they are created, but how to make it default for that directory?
hadoop dfs -setrep -R -w 1 /user

Thanks,
Austin
