dhruba borthakur updated HADOOP-4565:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: CombineMultiFile3.patch

Implemented a unit test.

This patch combines multiple blocks from different files in the input set to be 
part of the same split.

A minimum split size can be specified in which case blocks that are not from 
the same rack may combine in a single split. A maximum size can be specified in 
which case blocks from the same rack are combined upto this limit. A user can 
specify PathFilter(s) to identify pools of blocks that can be combined together.

> 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.
