055/** 
056 * A map/reduce job configuration.
057 * 
058 * <p><code>JobConf</code> is the primary interface for a user to describe a 
059 * map-reduce job to the Hadoop framework for execution. The framework tries to
060 * faithfully execute the job as-is described by <code>JobConf</code>, however:
061 * <ol>
062 *   <li>
063 *   Some configuration parameters might have been marked as 
064 *   <a href="{@docRoot}/org/apache/hadoop/conf/Configuration.html#FinalParams">
065 *   final</a> by administrators and hence cannot be altered.
066 *   </li>
067 *   <li>
068 *   While some job parameters are straight-forward to set 
069 *   (e.g. {@link #setNumReduceTasks(int)}), some parameters interact subtly
070 *   with the rest of the framework and/or job-configuration and is relatively
071 *   more complex for the user to control finely
072 *   (e.g. {@link #setNumMapTasks(int)}).
073 *   </li>
074 * </ol>
075 * 
076 * <p><code>JobConf</code> typically specifies the {@link Mapper}, combiner 
077 * (if any), {@link Partitioner}, {@link Reducer}, {@link InputFormat} and 
078 * {@link OutputFormat} implementations to be used etc.
079 *
080 * <p>Optionally <code>JobConf</code> is used to specify other advanced facets 
081 * of the job such as <code>Comparator</code>s to be used, files to be put in  
082 * the {@link DistributedCache}, whether or not intermediate and/or job outputs 
083 * are to be compressed (and how), debugability via user-provided scripts 
084 * ( {@link #setMapDebugScript(String)}/{@link #setReduceDebugScript(String)}),
085 * for doing post-processing on task logs, task's stdout, stderr, syslog. 
086 * and etc.</p>
087 * 
088 * <p>Here is an example on how to configure a job via <code>JobConf</code>:</p>
089 * <p><blockquote><pre>
090 *     // Create a new JobConf
091 *     JobConf job = new JobConf(new Configuration(), MyJob.class);
092 *     
093 *     // Specify various job-specific parameters     
094 *     job.setJobName("myjob");
095 *     
096 *     FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(job, new Path("in"));
097 *     FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path("out"));
098 *     
099 *     job.setMapperClass(MyJob.MyMapper.class);
100 *     job.setCombinerClass(MyJob.MyReducer.class);
101 *     job.setReducerClass(MyJob.MyReducer.class);
102 *     
103 *     job.setInputFormat(SequenceFileInputFormat.class);
104 *     job.setOutputFormat(SequenceFileOutputFormat.class);
105 * </pre></blockquote>

1316   * 
1317   * <p>The default behavior of file-based {@link InputFormat}s is to split the 
1318   * input into <i>logical</i> {@link InputSplit}s based on the total size, in
