Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-6039: --------------------------------------- This patch should reintroduce checkInputSplits into org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.InputFormat. This method should be documented as *optional*. It will only be invoked if Java code is doing the submission to detect errors in the user's job configuration, such as missing or read-protected input directory, before the job is submitted to the cluster. > Computing Input Splits on the MR Cluster > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6039 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6039 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: mapred > Reporter: Philip Zeyliger > > Instead of computing the input splits as part of job submission, Hadoop could > have a separate "job task type" that computes the input splits, therefore > allowing that computation to happen on the cluster. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
