Jothi Padmanabhan commented on HADOOP-4565:
-------------------------------------------
The above patch will work only if BlockLocations has topology information.
i.e. getTopologyPaths() returns valid data and not String[0]. Since it is not
guaranteed that getTopologyPaths will always return rack information (for
example, Kosmos FS), this patch should handle that case as well.
> MultiFileInputSplit can use data locality information to create splits

> The MultiFileInputFormat takes a set of paths and creates splits based on
> file sizes. Each splits contains a few files an each split are roughly equal
> in size. It would be efficient if we can extend this InputFormat to create
> splits such each all the blocks in one split and either node-local or
> rack-local.
