On what basis does the HDFS breaks a big file into chunks?

Number of lines
Lines and byte size both. The chunk might be a bit smaller than predefined size to have only the full line.
The fixed byte size by default 128MB. All the chunks are of the same size (in bytes) except for the last one which may be smaller.
You can define your own way of splitting.
