This chapter details the Map/Reduce-dedicated input and output components used for
generating Map/Reduce code to read data from or write data in a distributed file
system.

These components are part of the Map/Reduce components provided by Talend and are
grouped in the MapReduce family of the Palette. This family, as well as the other Map/Reduce components,
becomes available only when you are creating a Map/Reduce Job.

For the version support information, see the appendix on
supported third-party system/database versions in the Talend
Installation and Upgrade Guide of the Talend solution you are
using.
