> I found that when MROutputThread collecting the output of Reducer, it calls
> StreamKeyValUtil.splitKeyVal() and two local byte-arrays are allocated there
> for each line of output. Later these two byte-arrays are passed to variable
> key and val. There are twice memory copying here, one is the
> System.arraycopy() method, the other is inside key.set() / val.set().
> This causes double times of memory copying for the whole output (may lead to
> higher CPU consumption), and frequent temporay object allocation.
