Owen O'Malley resolved MAPREDUCE-2046.
--------------------------------------

    Resolution: Cannot Reproduce

This isn't true. InputSplits can be arbitrarily sized by the InputFormat. mapred.TextInputFormat if you set the number of maps very high, you will generate a large number of maps. In the new mapreduce.in.TextInputFormat, there are knobs that set the minimum and maximum block size.

> I ran into this while testing some hive features.
> Whether we use hiveinputformat or combinehiveinputformat, a split cannot be less than a dfs block size.
> This is a problem if we want to increase the block size for older data to reduce memory consumption for the
> name node.
> It would be useful if the input split was independent of the dfs block size.
