dhruba borthakur commented on MAPREDUCE-1501:
---------------------------------------------

I think Ian mentioned that you can enhance this feature by allowing the user to register a set of PathFilters. That will allow the job to process only a selected subset of the subdirectories.

> One solution that our users had is to write a new FileInputFormat, but that means all existing FileInputFormat subclasses need to be changed in order to support this feature.
> We can easily provide a JobConf option (which defaults to false) to {{FileInputFormat.listStatus(...)}} to recursively go into directory structure.
