Ari Rabkin commented on CHUKWA-338:
-----------------------------------

There's one subtle case to think about.  The sequence ID in a chunk is based on 
the LAST byte in the chunk.  So what if you have two different chunks that end 
at the same place, one longer than another?

Answer:  Keep track of how much you've already written for that stream, and act 
accordingly.  Slightly tricky code, but not monstrous, since the reduce gets 
chunks in sorted order.

> Right now, Archiver uses an identity reducer.
> It should be straightforward to write a custom reducer that does duplicate 
> detection and suppression if we get multiple chunks with the same key.
