Hi Bin YANG,
it can read as many lines/bytes as you want - but you need to implement
your own RecordReader
(http://lucene.apache.org/hadoop/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/RecordReader.html)
for this (and InputFormat in order to make it usable for your jobs...)
Just take a look at the LineRecordReader as a starting point on how to
implement a RecordReader.
Cu on the 'net,
Bye - bye,

hi colleague,
Does hadoop just provide reading the files from line to line?
How can I read many lines from a file?
thanks
