> The MultiFileInputFormat takes a set of paths and creates splits based on 
> file sizes. Each splits contains a few files an each split are roughly equal 
> in size. It would be efficient if we can extend this InputFormat to create 
> splits such each all the blocks in one split and either node-local or 
> rack-local.
