I agree.
But in general we can remove the possibility to configure combiner classes in the jobconf in case custom combiner classes are never used.
It is just about cleaning up the API.

I'm pretty new to this stuff, too, but I can't see why the current use of
the combiner is a problem. The combiner class is basically there as an
option to reduce the amount of intermediate output that gets written into NDFS before the reduce is started - there's no reason to call it from the reducer too. Generally, it probably even does the same logic - I've been building testing scenarios that work exactly that way, using the same class
for reduce as combine.

Hi,
just to add this to the archive. I note that the combiner class as it
is settedin the regex demo, is never used in the reducer task.
Also only the mapper task tests if there is a combiner class setted
to use the combining collector for map tasks.

So we may can remove getter and setter for combinder class in the job
Conf or should add the usage of the combiner class.:)
