hadoop cp should generate a better number of map tasks 
-------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HADOOP-229
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-229
     Project: Hadoop
        Type: Bug

  Components: fs  
    Reporter: Yoram Arnon
 Assigned to: Milind Bhandarkar 
    Priority: Minor


hadoop cp currently assigns 10 files to copy per map task.
in case of a small number of large files on a large cluster (say 300 files of 
30GB each on a 300 node cluster), this results in long execution times.
better would be to assign files per task such that the entire cluster is 
utilized: one file per map, with a cap of 10000 maps total, so as not to over 
burden the job tracker.
