It requests that the map runs on one of those machines or on the same rack as one of those machines. Currently there is no way to weight if one machine in the list is "better" than another. If an input split covers multiple blocks, the InputFormat is best served by picking the top N machines that are close a copy of most of the data, where N is roughly 3 to 5. -- Owen
