Thanks for the link, but it hasn't helped answer my original question - that
Sort.java seems to use IdentityMapper and IdentityReducer. Perhaps it is the
Sort.java that is used when executing the below command, but I can't figure
out what it actually uses for the mapper and reducer. It's entirely possible
I'm just missing something obvious.

I'm interested in seeing how the map and reduce fits into sorting with the
following command:

$ hadoop jar hadoop-*-examples.jar sort input output

I'd appreciate it if someone could explain what mappers/reducers are used in
that above command (link to the implementation of whatever sort they use and
how it fits into MapReduce)

Thanks.
