 /**   
  *  Defines a way to partition keys based on certain key fields (also see
  *  {@link KeyFieldBasedComparator}.
  *  The key specification supported is of the form -k pos1[,pos2], where,
  *  pos is of the form f[.c][opts], where f is the number
  *  of the key field to use, and c is the number of the first character from
  *  the beginning of the field. Fields and character posns are numbered 
  *  starting with 1; a character position of zero in pos2 indicates the
  *  field's last character. If '.c' is omitted from pos1, it defaults to 1
  *  (the beginning of the field); if omitted from pos2, it defaults to 0 
  *  (the end of the field).
  *  @deprecated Use 
  *  {@link org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.partition.KeyFieldBasedPartitioner} 
  *  instead
