Although it is kinda hacking the system you may be able to do it in the
map method by writing a custom MapRunner and having an object that lives
in the MapRunner but that you set into each mapper instance.

I currently have a MR task that reads a SequenceFile via the map method

My goal is to output some data to MySQL but I'd like to read several
records before doing the INSERT.
But I can't figure out how to get several records...
They all have different keys so the reduce task only gets one at a time.
Thanks for any help!
