> [https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/8d4300a02691777fc96f33861ed27e64fed72f2c/common/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/conf/HiveConf.java#L682]
> This field specifies a maximum size for each MR (maybe other?) splits.
> This number should be a multiple of the HDFS Block size. The way that this
> maximum is implemented, is that each block is added to the split, and if the
> split grows to be larger than the maximum allowed, the split is submitted to
> the cluster and a new split is opened.
> So, imagine the following scenario:
> * HDFS block size of 16 bytes
> * Maximum size of 40 bytes
> This will produce a split with 3 blocks. (2x16) = 32; another block will be
> inserted, (3x16) = 48 bytes in the split. So, while many operators would
> assume a split of 2 blocks, the actual is 3 blocks. Setting the maximum split
> size to a multiple of the HDFS block size will make this behavior less
> confusing.
> The current setting is ~256MB and when this was introduced, the default HDFS
> block size was 64MB. That is a factor of 4x. However, now HDFS block sizes
> are 128MB by default, so I propose setting this to 4x128MB. The larger
> splits (fewer tasks) should give a nice performance boost for modern hardware.
