Hi Mohit
        AFAIK there is no default mechanism available for the same in hadoop. 
File is split into blocks just based on the configured block size during hdfs 
copy. While processing the file using Mapreduce the record reader takes care of 
the new lines even if a line spans across multiple blocks. 

Could you explain more on the use case that demands such a requirement while 
hdfs copy itself?

How can I copy large text files using "hadoop fs" such that split occurs
based on blocks + new lines instead of blocks alone? Is there a way to do
this?
