Hi I'm using FileInputFormat which will split files logically according to their sizes into splits. Can the mapper get a pointer to these splits? and know which split it is assigned ?
I tried looking up the Reporter class and see how is it printing the logical splits on the UI for each mapper .. but it's an interface. Eg. Mapper1: is assigned the logical split "hdfs://localhost:9000/user/Hadoop/input:23+24" Mapper2: is assigned the logical split "hdfs://localhost:9000/user/Hadoop/input:0+23" Then inside map, I want to ask what are the logical splits and get the upper two strings and know which one my current mapper is assigned. Thanks, Mark
