- How do you copy adjust the split size​

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

I have a bunch of small files in an HDFS directory. Although the volume of the files is relatively small, the AMOUNT of processing time per file is huge. That is, a 64mb file, which is the default split size for TextInputFormat, would take even several hours to be processed.

What I need to do, is to reduce the split size, so that I can UTILIZE even more nodes for a job.

So the question is, how is it possible to split the files by let's say 10kb? Do I need to IMPLEMENT my own INPUTFORMAT and RECORDREADER for this, or is there any parameter to set? Thanks
