> When implementing a custom derivative of FileInputFormat we ran into the 
> effect that a large Gzipped input file would be processed several times. 
> A near 1GiB file would be processed around 36 times in its entirety. Thus 
> producing garbage results and taking up a lot more CPU time than needed.
> It took a while to figure out and what we found is that the default 
> implementation of the isSplittable method in 
> [org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat | 
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/mapreduce/trunk/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/lib/input/FileInputFormat.java?view=markup
>  ] is simply "return true;". 
> This is a very unsafe default and is in contradiction with the JavaDoc of the 
> method which states: "Is the given filename splitable? Usually, true, but if 
> the file is stream compressed, it will not be. " . The actual implementation 
> effectively does "Is the given filename splitable? Always true, even if the 
> file is stream compressed using an unsplittable compression codec. "
> For our situation (where we always have Gzipped input) we took the easy way 
> out and simply implemented an isSplittable in our class that does "return 
> false; "
> Now there are essentially 3 ways I can think of for fixing this (in order of 
> what I would find preferable):
> # Implement something that looks at the used compression of the file (i.e. do 
> migrate the implementation from TextInputFormat to FileInputFormat). This 
> would make the method do what the JavaDoc describes.
> # "Force" developers to think about it and make this method abstract.
> # Use a "safe" default (i.e. return false)
