If i have a tall table, what is returned in the reduce?   I'm still confused
as to how things map up.

for example assume I have ELECTRONICS|TV|ID2343 as the row key. There are
millions of these (ELECTRONICS|TV|ID234324, along with other products).  I'd
like to count the total # of IDs for all TVs.  How do I do this with
map/reduce?  I tried a few things, but not able to get it working.
