Wait, is that supposed to be a map function? Whether or not this is technically
feasible, it’s an incorrect use of map/reduce.
It’s critical that a map function be a ‘pure' function with no access to
outside state. That is, every time the function is called with the same input,
it must produce the same output. Otherwise you won’t get a self-consistent
index.
