Direct Known Subclasses:
  CombineFileSplit, DBInputFormat.DBInputSplit, FileSplit, FileSplit

    public abstract class InputSplit

extends Object

`InputSplit` represents the data to be processed by an individual `Mapper`.

Typically, it presents a byte-oriented view on the input and is the responsibility of `RecordReader` of the job to process this and present a record-oriented view.

  `InputFormat`, `RecordReader`

Constructor Summary
`InputSplit()`

Method Summary
`abstract long` | `getLength()` Get the size of the split, so that the input splits can be sorted by size.
`abstract String[]` | `getLocations()` Get the list of nodes by name where the data for the split would be local.
