What is RecordReader in a Map Reduce?..

Answer / Alpana Vyas

RecordReader is an InputSplit reader interface for MapReduce in Hadoop. It reads input data from any source, such as text files or database connections, and provides it to the mapper in an iterable format. The primary responsibility of RecordReader is to read records (lines) from the input source, split them if necessary, and pass each record to the Mapper.
