Number of map task

[Patcharee Thongtra]

Hi,

I wrote a custom InputFormat. When I ran the pig script Load function 
using this InputFormat, the number of InputSplit = 16, but there was 
only 2 map tasks handling these splits. Apparently the no. of map tasks 
= the no. of input files.

Does the number of Map task not correspond to the number of splits?

I think the job will be done quicker if there are more Map tasks?
