We should make sure we have:

{code}
Class<? extends WritableComparable>  getInputKeyClass();
Class<? extends Writable> getInputValueClass();
{code}

in the TaskContext object.

> Basically, it will replace:
> package org.apache.hadoop.mapred;
> public interface Mapper extends JobConfigurable, Closeable {
>   void map(WritableComparable key, Writable value, OutputCollector output, 
> Reporter reporter) throws IOException;
> }
> with:
> package org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce;
> public interface Mapper extends Closable {
>   void map(MapContext context) throws IOException;
> }
> where MapContext has the methods like getKey(), getValue(), collect(Key, 
> Value), progress(), etc.
