Thanks Ashish,

So according to the link if one is using CompositeInputFormat then it will take 
entire file as Input to a mapper without considering InputSplits/blocksize.
If I am understanding it correctly then it is asking to break [Original Input 
File]->[flie1,file2,....] .

So If my file is  [/test/MatrixA] --> [/test/smallfiles/file1, 
[/test/smallfiles/file2, [/test/smallfiles/file3...............  ]

Now will the input path in MatrixMultiplicationJob will be directory path : 
/test/smallfiles  ??

Will breaking file in such manner will cause problem in algorithmic execution 
of MR job. Im not sure if output will be correct .

MatrixMultiplicationJob internally sets InputFormat as CompositeInputFormat

JobConf conf = new JobConf(initialConf, MatrixMultiplicationJob.class); 
conf.setInputFormat(CompositeInputFormat.class);

and AFAIK, CompositeInputFormat ignores the splits. See this 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8654200/hadoop-file-splits-compositeinputformat-inner-join

Unfortunately, I don't know any other alternative as of now.
