/**
* The ChainMapper class allows to use multiple Mapper classes within a single
* Map task.
*
* The Mapper classes are invoked in a chained (or piped) fashion, the output of
* the first becomes the input of the second, and so on until the last Mapper,
* the output of the last Mapper will be written to the task's output.
*
* The key functionality of this feature is that the Mappers in the chain do not
* need to be aware that they are executed in a chain. This enables having
* reusable specialized Mappers that can be combined to perform composite
* operations within a single task.
*
* Special care has to be taken when creating chains that the key/values output
* by a Mapper are valid for the following Mapper in the chain. It is assumed
* all Mappers and the Reduce in the chain use maching output and input key and
* value classes as no conversion is done by the chaining code.
*
* Using the ChainMapper and the ChainReducer classes is possible to compose
* Map/Reduce jobs that look like [MAP+ / REDUCE MAP*]. And
* immediate benefit of this pattern is a dramatic reduction in disk IO.
*
* IMPORTANT: There is no need to specify the output key/value classes for the
* ChainMapper, this is done by the addMapper for the last mapper in the chain.
*
* ChainMapper usage pattern:
*
*
* ...
* conf.setJobName("chain");
* conf.setInputFormat(TextInputFormat.class);
* conf.setOutputFormat(TextOutputFormat.class);
*
* JobConf mapAConf = new JobConf(false);
* ...
* ChainMapper.addMapper(conf, AMap.class, LongWritable.class, Text.class,
* Text.class, Text.class, true, mapAConf);
*
* JobConf mapBConf = new JobConf(false);
* ...
* ChainMapper.addMapper(conf, BMap.class, Text.class, Text.class,
* LongWritable.class, Text.class, false, mapBConf);
*
* JobConf reduceConf = new JobConf(false);
* ...
* ChainReducer.setReducer(conf, XReduce.class, LongWritable.class, Text.class,
* Text.class, Text.class, true, reduceConf);
*
* ChainReducer.addMapper(conf, CMap.class, Text.class, Text.class,
* LongWritable.class, Text.class, false, null);
*
* ChainReducer.addMapper(conf, DMap.class, LongWritable.class, Text.class,
* LongWritable.class, LongWritable.class, true, null);
*
* FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(conf, inDir);
* FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(conf, outDir);
* ...
*
* JobClient jc = new JobClient(conf);
* RunningJob job = jc.submitJob(conf);
* ...
*

* 'by value' must be used. If the Mapper does not expect this semantics, as
* an optimization to avoid serialization and deserialization 'by reference'
* can be used.
*
* For the added Mapper the configuration given for it,

* @param inputKeyClass mapper input key class.
* @param inputValueClass mapper input value class.
