<p>A <code>PCollection<T></code> represents a distributed, unordered
collection of elements of type T. For example, we represent a text file as a
-<code>PCollection<String></code> object.
<code>PCollection<T></code> provides a method, <code>parallelDo</code>,
that applies a <a href="apidocs/current/org/apache/crunch/DoFn.html">DoFn<T,

that applies a <a href="apidocs/0.8.0/org/apache/crunch/DoFn.html">DoFn<T,

to each element in the <code>PCollection<T></code> in parallel, and
returns an new <code>PCollection<U></code> as its result.</p>
<p>A <code>PTable<K, V></code> is a sub-interface of
<code>PCollection<Pair<K, V>></code> that represents a distributed,
unordered multimap of its key type K to its value type V.
In addition to the parallelDo operation, PTable provides a
<code>groupByKey</code> operation that aggregates all of the values in the
PTable that
have the same key into a single record. It is the groupByKey operation that
triggers the sort phase of a MapReduce job. Developers can exercise
fine-grained control over the number of reducers and the partitioning,
grouping, and sorting strategies used during the shuffle by providing an
instance
