InputSampler does not create a deep copy of the key class when creating a sample, which causes
problems with some formats like SequenceFile<Text,Text>

Key: MAPREDUCE-1820
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1820
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Alex Kozlov
I tried to use the InputSampler on a SequenceFile<Text,Text> and found that it comes
up with duplicate keys in the sample. The problem was tracked down to the fact that the Text
object returned from the reader is essentially a wrapper pointing to a byte array, which changes
as the sequence file reader progresses. There was also a bug in that the reader should be
initialized before the use. The am attaching a patch that fixes both of the issues. --Alex
