John, Examples and libraries are rewritten to use new api in branch 0.21. You can have a look at them. New api in branch 0.20 is not stable yet. And old api is undeprecated in branch 0.21. So, you can use old api still.

I need to understand how to chain two mapreduce jobs together efficiently that must run sequentially. I'd like to use the SequenceFileOutputFormat --> SequenceFileInputFormat configuration between my two MapReduce jobs. I would be so grateful for any help or links to relevant documentation/examples. Thanks, John
