> 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.
