Multiple Output files from mapper

    Typically, in a map reduce job, you generate one output file for a job. However,if you want to output to multiple files, then, you would use MultipleOutputs in your mapper.

    Here are the four things you need to do : 

    Declare MultipleOutputs (mos) variable
    Override setup and instantiate mos
    Override cleanup and close mos
    In the map method, mos.write.
