Why are the number of splits equal to the number of maps?..

Answer / Abhinav Shukla

In Hadoop MapReduce, the number of input splits is typically equal to the number of maps because each map processes one split of data. By splitting the input data evenly across multiple mappers, Hadoop can parallelize the processing and take full advantage of distributed computing resources.
