/**
 * The ChainMapper class allows to use multiple Mapper classes within a single
 * Map task.
 * 
 * <p>
 * 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>
 * <p>
 * The key functionality of this feature is that the Mappers in the chain do not
 * need to be aware that they are executed in a chain. This enables having
 * reusable specialized Mappers that can be combined to perform composite
 * operations within a single task.
 * </p>
 * <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 matching output and input key and
 * value classes as no conversion is done by the chaining code.
 * </p>
 * <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>
 * <p>
 * IMPORTANT: There is no need to specify the output key/value classes for the
 * ChainMapper, this is done by the addMapper for the last mapper in the chain.
 * </p>
 * ChainMapper usage pattern:
 * <p/>
 * 
 * <pre>
 * ...
 * Job = new Job(conf);
 * <p/>
 * Configuration mapAConf = new Configuration(false);
 * ...
 * ChainMapper.addMapper(job, AMap.class, LongWritable.class, Text.class,
 *   Text.class, Text.class, true, mapAConf);
 * <p/>
 * Configuration mapBConf = new Configuration(false);
 * ...
 * ChainMapper.addMapper(job, BMap.class, Text.class, Text.class,
 *   LongWritable.class, Text.class, false, mapBConf);
 * <p/>
 * ...
 * <p/>
 * job.waitForComplettion(true);
 * ...
 * </pre>
