Hadoop InputFormat
InputFormat tells that how the input files are split up and read in Hadoop. It is the first component in Map-Reduce, which handles creation of the input splits as well as divids them into records. However, if you are not familiar with MapReduce Job Flow, so follow our Hadoop MapReduce Data flow tutorial for more understanding.
