---------------------------------

             Summary: Key grouping with GroupingComparators is not consistent 
with MapReduce behaviour
                 Key: MRUNIT-127
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRUNIT-127
             Project: MRUnit
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.9.0
            Reporter: Dave Beech


In Hadoop MapReduce, for a set of keys to be properly grouped together by a 
grouping comparator into a reduce call, they need to be in a contiguous range 
when sorted by the key's ordering comparator. 

MRUnit does not impose this requirement, so if the user's grouping and sorting 
comparator logic is incorrect, their tests may pass and give the expected 
result even though the outcome would be different when run as a true MapReduce 
job. 

(see below for further explanation)
