If we dont specify numSplits in getsplits(), then what is the default number of splits taken...
The getSplits() is either library or user code, so it depends which class you are using as your InputFormat. The FileInputFormats (TextInputFormat and SequenceFileInputFormat) basically divide input files by blocks, unless the requested number of mappers is really high.
