Is it possible to split 100 lines of input as a single split in MapReduce?..

Answer / Pritee Hardiha

No, in MapReduce, each split is a chunk of data and is not designed to contain more than one line. However, you can configure the number of splits per file using Hadoop configuration parameters such as mapred.max.split-size or dfs.blocksize.
