title: processing very small file with hadoop
body: <p>I have a question about using hadoop to process a small file. My file only has about a 1,000 or so records but i want the records to roughly be evenly distributed among the nodes. Is there a way to do this? I'm new to hadoop and so far it seems that all the execution is happening on one node instead a multiple simultaneously. Let me know if my question makes sense or if I need to clarify anything. Like I said, i'm very new to Hadoop but am hoping to get some clarification. Thanks.</p>
