Interface Reducer<V>

Type Parameters:

V - value type

public interface Reducer<V>

The Reducer interface for combining two values of the same type into a new value. In contrast to Aggregator the result type must be the same as the input type.

The provided values can be either original values from input KeyValue pair records or be a previously computed result from apply(Object, Object).

Reducer can be used to implement aggregation functions like sum, min, or max.
