Thanks! Quick question on that particular class: why are the methods
synchronized? I didn't think that key/value objects needed to be
thread
safe?
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...)
