## Interface Collator<ValueIn,ValueOut>

- Type Parameters:
    `ValueIn` - value type of the resulting values
    `ValueOut` - type for the collated result

  Deprecated.
  MapReduce is deprecated and will be removed in 4.0. For map aggregations, you can use `Aggregator` on IMap. For general data processing, it is superseded by Hazelcast Jet.

      @Deprecated
      public interface Collator<ValueIn,ValueOut>

  This interface can be implemented to define a Collator which is executed after calculation of the MapReduce algorithm on remote cluster nodes but before returning the final result.
  Collator can, for example, be used to sum up a final value.
  Since:
    3.2
