> I wrote a generic InputFormat that wraps any other InputFormat, and creates CompositeInputSplits to reduce the number of map tasks in a controllable manner while preserving data locality. A correspondent CompositeRecordReader is written to iterate through underlying RecordReaders as created by the underlying InputFormat for each underlying raw split.
> An application to this is to group TableSplits when the raw splits are coming from multiple regions and are filtered with key ranges. We use this to shard/distribute a time based incremental access to an hbase table.
