Providing a file instead of a directory to a M/R job

[Shahab Yunus]

In MRv2 or Yarn is it possible to provide a complete path to a file instead
of a directory to a mapreduce job?

Usually we provide a list of directory paths by using
FileInputFormat.addInputPath. Can we provide a path which is a full path to
an actually file? I have tried it but getting unexpected permission errors.

Thanks.
