Dear Hama developers,
It seems that the splits generated by the FileInputFormat in Hama 0.6.0
cannot be smaller than a block. In Hama 0.5.0, I could set any split
size using job.set("bsp.min.split.size",...) and set the task numbers
using job.setNumBspTask(...). This is ignored by Hama 0.6.0 for a split
smaller than a block. But if you have more nodes in your cluster than
data blocks, you may get faster execution if you allow splits smaller
than a block. Is there any way to use splits smaller than a block in
Hama 0.6.0?
Thanks for your help,
Leonidas
