I picked a simple example out of map/reduce framework to demonstrate the approach. The framework has a lot of threads and so needs synchronization on its own data types. Your maps and reduces are only called by a single thread and so probably don't need synchronization. (The framework won't call readFields/write on your types from multiple threads either...) -- Owen
