## Interface CombinerFactory<KeyIn,ValueIn,ValueOut>

- Type Parameters:
    `KeyIn` - key type of the resulting keys
    `ValueIn` - value type of the incoming values
    `ValueOut` - value type of the reduced values
  All Superinterfaces:
    Serializable

  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 For general data processing, it is superseded by Hazelcast Jet.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 CombinerFactory<KeyIn,ValueIn,ValueOut>
      extends Serializable

  A CombinerFactory implementation is used to build `Combiner` instances per key.
  An implementation needs to be serializable by Hazelcast since it is distributed together with the `Mapper` implementation to run alongside.

  Since:
    3.2
