Answer / Akash Kumar Srivastava

An InputSplit in Hadoop represents a part of the data that a mapper or reducer will process. It doesn't necessarily correspond to a physical file block. A Block, on the other hand, is a contiguous set of data stored within a DataNode and has a fixed size (128 MB by default). Multiple InputSplits can be assigned to a single Block during data processing.
