sets the reducer class to the chain job 's jobconf . it has to be specified how key and values are passed from one element of the chain to the next , by value or by reference . if a reducer leverages the assumed semantics that the key and values are not modified by the collector ` by value ' must be used . if the reducer does not expect this semantics , as an optimization to avoid serialization and deserialization ` by reference ' can be used . for the added reducer the configuration given for it , reducerconf , have precedence over the job 's jobconf . this precedence is in effect when the task is running . important : there is no need to specify the output key/value classes for the chainreducer , this is done by the setreducer or the addmapper for the last element in the chain . concode_field_sep Chain chain concode_field_sep void reduce concode_elem_sep void addMapper concode_elem_sep void configure concode_elem_sep void close
