> Hadoop by default allocates a Map to a file irrespective of size. This is not optimal if you have a large number of small files, for e.g:- If you 2000 100KB files, 2000 Maps will be allocated for the job.
> The Custom Multi File Splitter collapses all the small files to a single split till the DFS Block Size is hit.
> It also take care of handling big files by splitting them on Block Size and adding up all the reminders(if any) to a further splits of Block Size.
