> TupleWritable uses an instance field of the primitive type, long, which I 
> presume is so that it can quickly determine if a position has been written to 
> in its array of Writables (by using bit-shifting operations on the long 
> field). The problem with this is that it implies that there is a maximum 
> limit of 64 values you can store in a TupleWritable.
> An example of a use-case where I think this would be a problem is if you had 
> two MR jobs with over 64 reduces tasks and you wanted to join the outputs 
> with CompositeInputFormat  - this will probably cause unexpected results in 
> the current scheme.
> At the very least, the 64-value limit should be documented in TupleWritable.
