> In many "pleasantly" parallel applications, each process/mapper processes the 
> same input file (s), but with computations are controlled by different 
> parameters.
> (Referred to as "parameter sweeps").
> One way to achieve this, is to specify a set of parameters (one set per line) 
> as input in a control file (which is the input path to the map-reduce 
> application, where as the input dataset is specified via a config variable in 
> JobConf.).
> It would be great to have an InputFormat, that splits the input file such 
> that by default, one line is fed as a value to one map task, and key could be 
> line number. i.e. (k,v) is (LongWritable, Text).
> If user specifies the number of maps explicitly, each mapper should get a 
> contiguous chunk of lines (so as to load balance between the mappers.)
> The location hints for the splits should not be derived from the input file, 
> but rather, should span the whole mapred cluster.
> (Is there a way to do this without having to return an array of 
> nSplits*nTaskTrackers ?)
> Increasing the replication of the "real" input dataset (since it will be 
> fetched by all the nodes) is orthogonal, and one can use DistributedCache for 
> that.
> (P.S. Please chose a better name for this InputFormat. I am not in love with  
> "LineBasedText" name.)
