/**
* This package exists to store common helpers for configuring MapReduce jobs in a single location. It contains static configurator methods, stored in classes
* separate from the things they configure (typically, {@link org.apache.accumulo.core.client.mapreduce.AccumuloInputFormat}/
* {@link org.apache.accumulo.core.client.mapreduce.AccumuloOutputFormat} and related classes in compatible frameworks), rather than storing them in those
* InputFormats/OutputFormats, so as not to clutter their API with methods that don't match the conventions for that framework. These classes may be useful to
* input/output plugins for other frameworks, so they can reuse the same configuration options and/or serialize them into a
* {@link org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration} instance in a standard way.
*
* <p>
* It is not expected these will change much (except when new features are added), but end users should not use these classes. They should use the static
* configurators on the {@link org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.InputFormat} or {@link org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.OutputFormat} they are configuring, which in turn
* may use these classes to implement their own static configurators. Once again, these classes are intended for internal use, but may be useful to developers
* of plugins for other frameworks that read/write to Accumulo.
*
* @since 1.6.0
