/**
 * The ChainReducer class allows to chain multiple Mapper classes after a
 * Reducer within the Reducer task.
 * <p/>
 * For each record output by the Reducer, the Mapper classes are invoked in a
 * chained (or piped) fashion, the output of the first becomes the input of the
 * second, and so on until the last Mapper, the output of the last Mapper will
 * be written to the task's output.
 * <p/>
 * The key functionality of this feature is that the Mappers in the chain do not
 * need to be aware that they are executed after the Reducer or in a chain.
 * This enables having reusable specialized Mappers that can be combined to
 * perform composite operations within a single task.
 * <p/>
 * Special care has to be taken when creating chains that the key/values output
 * by a Mapper are valid for the following Mapper in the chain. It is assumed
 * all Mappers and the Reduce in the chain use maching output and input key and
 * value classes as no conversion is done by the chaining code.
 * <p/>
 * Using the ChainMapper and the ChainReducer classes is possible to compose
 * Map/Reduce jobs that look like <code>[MAP+ / REDUCE MAP*]</code>. And
 * immediate benefit of this pattern is a dramatic reduction in disk IO.
 * <p/>
 * IMPORTANT: There is no need to specify the output key/value classes for the
 * ChainReducer, this is done by the setReducer or the addMapper for the last
 * element in the chain.
 * <p/>
 * ChainReducer usage pattern:
 * <p/>
 * <pre>
 * ...
 * conf.setJobName("chain");
 * conf.setInputFormat(TextInputFormat.class);
 * conf.setOutputFormat(TextOutputFormat.class);
 * <p/>
 * JobConf mapAConf = new JobConf(false);
 * ...
 * ChainMapper.addMapper(conf, AMap.class, LongWritable.class, Text.class,
 *   Text.class, Text.class, true, mapAConf);
 * <p/>
 * JobConf mapBConf = new JobConf(false);
 * ...
 * ChainMapper.addMapper(conf, BMap.class, Text.class, Text.class,
 *   LongWritable.class, Text.class, false, mapBConf);
 * <p/>
 * JobConf reduceConf = new JobConf(false);
 * ...
 * ChainReducer.setReducer(conf, XReduce.class, LongWritable.class, Text.class,
 *   Text.class, Text.class, true, reduceConf);
 * <p/>
 * ChainReducer.addMapper(conf, CMap.class, Text.class, Text.class,
 *   LongWritable.class, Text.class, false, null);
 * <p/>
 * ChainReducer.addMapper(conf, DMap.class, LongWritable.class, Text.class,
 *   LongWritable.class, LongWritable.class, true, null);
 * <p/>
 * FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(conf, inDir);
 * FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(conf, outDir);
 * ...
 * <p/>
 * JobClient jc = new JobClient(conf);
 * RunningJob job = jc.submitJob(conf);
 * ...
 * </pre>
 * @deprecated 
 * Use {@link org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.chain.ChainReducer} instead
