Input paths

[Vetle Roeim]

It seems that input to jobs is restricted to directories, and it is  
impossible to add individual files -- JobConf calls  
InputFormatBase.areValidInputDirectories, which checks that each input  
path is a directory.

Why is this required? Is it possible to change it or work around it  
(without copying the files into a separate directory)?


Thanks,
