/**
 * The class AvroKeyValueMapReduceJobOutput is used to indicate the usage of Avro container files
 * as output for a MapReduce job.
 *
 * <p>
 *   This job output permits writing key-value pairs to the Avro container file. If you only
 *   need to write keys to a container file use {@link AvroKeyMapReduceJobOutput} instead.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h2>Configuring an output:</h2>
 * <p>
 *   AvroKeyValueMapReduceJobOutput must be configured with a location to write output container
 *   files to and the number of output splits to use:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 *   <code>
 *     final Path outputPath = new Path("/path/to/output/folder");
 *
 *     // Create a text file job output with 10 splits.
 *     final MapReduceJobOutput textOutput = MapReduceJobOutputs.newAvroKeyValueMapReduceJobOutput(
 *         outputPath, 10);
 *   </code>
 * </pre>
