    `start` - the index of the first row to select
    `end` - the index of the last row to select

Method Detail

### getLocations

    public String[] getLocations()
                          throws IOException

  Get the list of hostnames where the input split is located.

  Specified by:
    `getLocations` in interface `InputSplit`
  Returns:
    list of hostnames where data of the `InputSplit` is located as an array of `String`s.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### getStart

    public long getStart()

  Returns:
    The index of the first row to select

### getEnd

    public long getEnd()

  Returns:
    The index of the last row to select

### getLength

    public long getLength()
                   throws IOException

  Description copied from interface: `InputSplit`
  Get the total number of bytes in the data of the `InputSplit`.

  Specified by:
    `getLength` in interface `InputSplit`
  Returns:
    The total row count in this split
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### readFields

    public void readFields(DataInput input)
                    throws IOException

  Deserialize the fields of this object from `in`.

  For efficiency, implementations should attempt to re-use storage in the existing object where possible.

  Specified by:
    `readFields` in interface `Writable`
  Parameters:
    `input` - `DataInput` to deseriablize this object from.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### write

    public void write(DataOutput output)
               throws IOException

  Serialize the fields of this object to `out`.

  Specified by:
    `write` in interface `Writable`
  Parameters:
    `output` - `DataOuput` to serialize this object into.
  Throws:
    `IOException`
