If you use the new API, you can access the MapContext object in the setup
method of the mapper. Then, you can get the input split with
MapContext#getInputSplit(), cast it to FileSplit and obtain the path of the
file the current split is part of through the FileSplit#getPath() method.
All records of the mapper instance will be part of that split so you only
need to get the information once per map task in the setup method.
