/**
* This class has been deprecated in favor of {@link MultiSourceTap}.
* <p/>
* Class MultiTap is used to tie multiple {@link Tap} instances into a single resource. Effectively this will allow
* multiple files to be concatenated into the requesting pipe assembly, if they all share the same {@link Scheme} instance.
* <p/>
* Note that order is not maintained by virtue of the underlying model. If order is necessary, use a unique sequence key
* to span the resources, like a line number.
* </p>
* Note that if multiple input files have the same Scheme (like {@link cascading.scheme.TextLine}), they may not contain
* the same semi-structure internally. For example, one file might be an Apache log file, and anoter might be a Log4J
* log file. If each one should be parsed differently, then they must be handled by different pipe assembly branches.
*
* @deprecated
