+1 For some time my pattern has been to use a Driver for each independent M/R 
algorithm and a Job to execute more than one Driver to accomplish some higher 
level of functionality (e.g. seq2sparse). But now, a lot of the drivers are 
themselves orchestrating atomic drivers. Adding the sequential execution mode 
has also made the drivers less atomic than I had originally intended.
