----------------------------------------------------------
bq. it will group as if all splits are on the same machine.
Seems like a potential solution would be to generate a random location string
for each split ( "InvalidHost_N" where N auto-increments ) and then let the
rest of the grouping code do what it does today? Would need some better
handling to convert the split location into a host-ask against the RM I guess.

> There are scenarios where splits might not contain the location details. S3
> is an example, where all splits would have "localhost" for the location
> details. In such cases, curent split computation does not go through the
> rack local and allow-small groups optimizations and ends up creating small
> number of splits. Depending on clusters this can end creating long running
> map jobs.
> Example with hive:
> ==============
> 1. Inventory table in tpc-ds dataset is partitioned and is relatively a small
> table.
> 2. With query-22, hive requests with the original splits count as 52 and
> overall length of splits themselves is around 12061817 bytes.
> {{tez.grouping.min-size}} was set to 16 MB.
> 3. In tez splits grouping, this ends up creating a single split with 52+
> files be processed in the split. In clusters with split locations, this
> would have landed up with multiple splits since {{allowSmallGroups}} would
> have kicked in.
> But in S3, since everything would have "localhost" all splits get added to
> single group. This makes things a lot worse.
> 4. Depending on the dataset and the format, this can be problematic. For
> instance, file open calls and random seeks can be expensive in S3.
> 5. In this case, 52 files have to be opened and processed by single task in
> sequential fashion. Had it been processed by multiple tasks, response time
> would have drastically reduced.

> Alternate options:
> ==================
> 1. Force Hadoop to provide bogus locations for S3. But not sure, if that
> would be accepted anytime soon. Ref: HADOOP-12878
> 2. Set {{tez.grouping.min-size}} to very very low value. But should the end
> user always be doing this on query to query basis?
> 3. When {{(lengthPerGroup < "tez.grouping.min-size")}}, recompute
> desiredNumSplits only when number of distinct locations in the splits is > 1.
> This would force more number of splits to be generated.
