Pedro,
Job tracker is there just to invoke the job or submit the job. It doesn't play
any role in split and map. Here in your question mapper play a role to get
splits.

Subject: Split locations
Hi,
In MapReduce, if the locations of the split are in {HostA, HostB, HostC},
and the respective map tasks will run in HostB, the map tasks will pick up
the split from HostB?
Who is responsible to make the map tasks get the spilt in HostB? Is the
JobTracker or the MapTask?
