public class HadoopRunWriter
extends RunWriter

RunWriter for the MapReduce indexer. Provides functionality to write term posting lists out to the map task outputcollector during a MapReduce indexing job. Map and flush numbers are also passed with the posting list to allow for docids to be corrected later from side-effect files.
