Description

Currently the computeSplitSize() method is private and static. Because of this, to make a subclass of the FileInputFormat that changes the logic to compute the split size, the whole getSplits() method has to be rewritten.

By making it a member method and protected the logic to compute the split size can be changed and the getSplits() method can be reused.
