Github user mateiz commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/376#issuecomment-40296996 While a minSplits for all New API Hadoop files would be useful, I think that's too complicated to do in 1.0, so it would be fine to just add it for wholeTextFiles now. Simple text files and SequenceFiles already go through the old Hadoop API so they're okay.
