Anatomy of a MapReduce Job

In a typical Anatomy of MapReduce job, input files are read from the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Data is usually compressed to reduce file sizes. After decompression, serialized bytes are transformed into Java objects before being passed to a user-defined map() function. Conversely, output records are serialized, compressed, and eventually pushed back to HDFS.
