   > @Stephen-Robin Splitting a large file into multiple small files will make 
the Rewrite Action consume more resources, and too many small files are not 
friendly to hdfs. what do you think about ?
   
   @zhangjun0x01 
   I think it makes sense to split large files into smaller files. 
   1. the user’s goal is to get the expected file size.
   2. When the split target size is set to such as 256M, rewriting large files 
after splitting will not significantly increase the load of hdfs.
   3. After splitting into small files, it is convenient for  filtering by  
file metadata in manifest.
   4. We can  also add an option to let users decide whether to split large 
files
