Hadoop Input Splits and Record Reader
<p>Read this on apache documentation:</p>

<p>InputSplit represents the data to be processed by an individual Mapper.</p>

<p>Typically, it presents a byte-oriented view on the input and is the responsibility of RecordReader of the job to process this and present a record-oriented view.</p>

<p>Link - <a href="https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.6.1/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/InputSplit.html" rel="nofollow">https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.6.1/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/InputSplit.html</a></p>

<p><strong>Can somebody explain the difference between byte-oriented view and record-oriented view?</strong></p>
