For example:

I put all user global variables in a class I called MyGlobals

public class MyGlobals {
    static public int var1;
    ...
}

Then, in whatever map function I have, I can refer to my globals like this:

public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, OutputCollector output,
Reporter reporter) throws IOException {
....
 int i = MyGlobals.var1;
...
}

Sorry about the stupid question and answer.
