> This is a big change, but it will future-proof our API's. To maintain backwards compatibility, I'd suggest that we move over to a new package name (org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce) and deprecate the old interfaces and package. Basically, it will replace:
> package org.apache.hadoop.mapred;
> public interface Mapper extends JobConfigurable, Closeable {
>   void map(WritableComparable key, Writable value, OutputCollector output, Reporter reporter) throws IOException;
> }
> with:
> package org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce;
> public interface Mapper extends Closable {
>   void map(MapContext context) throws IOException;
> }
> where MapContext has the methods like getKey(), getValue(), collect(Key, Value), progress(), etc.
