 * own key type and value type across a MapReduce job. For each platform,
 * we should implement serializers such that we could communicate data with
 * native side and native comparators so our native output collectors could
 * sort them and write out. We've already provided the {@link HadoopPlatform}
 * that supports all key types of Hadoop and users could implement their custom
 * platform.
