> We frequently run in the situation where Pig needs to deal with small files in the input. In this case a separate map is created for each file which could be very inefficient. 
> It would be greate to have an umbrella input format that can take multiple files and use them in a single split. We would like to see this working with different data formats if possible.
> There are already a couple of input formats doing similar thing: MultifileInputFormat as well as CombinedInputFormat; howevere, neither works with ne Hadoop 20 API. 
> We at least want to do a feasibility study for Pig 0.8.0.
