             Summary: Adding  getSplits(JobContext job, List<FileStatus> stats) to mapreduce CombineFileInputFormat
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-6099
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6099
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: client
    Affects Versions: 2.4.1
            Reporter: Pankit Thapar
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.4.1


Currently we have getSplits(JobContext job) in CombineFileInputFormat. 
This api does not give freedom to the client to create a list if file status it self and then create splits on the resultant List<FileStatus> stats.
The client might be able to perform some filtering on its end on the File sets in the input paths. For the reasons, above it would be a good idea to have getSplits(JobContext, List<FileStatus>).
Please let me know what you think about this.
