Another way is to go through the ReplicaInfo class which has package private
File getBlockFile() method

There is no need to store file name in the block. Given block you can get
BlockInfo, which has INodeFile. From this you can get the corresponding file
name. As Dhruba said, I am interested in the use-case as well.

I think that if we add the filename of a file to each block, it adds
additional complexity to the implementation of the filesystem. what is the
use-case that you have in mind?

I am trying to add functionality so that a block can store the name of the
file it is associated with. Having looked at the HDFS source code, would
this implementation be added correctly by make some modifications to the
INodeFile.java and Block.java files? Are there some more modifications I am
missing that need to be added for this functionality to be possible? Thanks
