Sai,
Each file is divided into split as per the map input format, each split is
equal to a map. You rightly stated 1 split=1 block=1 map. Record can be
combination of block defined by recordreader code. One record can be series of
maps or splits or blocks.
Hope this will clear.

Just wondering if this is right way to understand this:
A large file is split into multiple blocks and each block is split into
multiple file splits and each file split has multiple records and each record
has multiple lines. Each line is processed by 1 instance of mapper.
Any help is appreciated
