/**
 * NLineInputFormat which splits N lines of input as one split.
 *
 * In many "pleasantly" parallel applications, each process/mapper 
 * processes the same input file (s), but with computations are 
 * controlled by different parameters.(Referred to as "parameter sweeps").
 * One way to achieve this, is to specify a set of parameters 
 * (one set per line) as input in a control file 
 * (which is the input path to the map-reduce application,
 * where as the input dataset is specified 
 * via a config variable in JobConf.).
 * 
 * The NLineInputFormat can be used in such applications, that splits 
 * the input file such that by default, one line is fed as
 * a value to one map task, and key is the offset.
 * i.e. (k,v) is (LongWritable, Text).
 * The location hints will span the whole mapred cluster.
