 * If an Input- or OutputFormat requires some pre-post processing, then a MapReduceFormat can be implemented.
 * For InputFormats, the MapReduce jobs are prepended to the job pipeline and the final job must yield a FaunusVertex stream.
 * For OutputFormats, the MapReduce jobs are appended to the job pipeline and the first job must consume a FaunusVertex stream.
