This tutorial uses the following Java class, which can be found in org.apache.accumulo.examples.simple.combiner in the simple-examples module:

 * StatsCombiner.java - a combiner that calculates max, min, sum, and count

This is a simple combiner example.  To build this example run maven and then
copy the produced jar into the accumulo lib dir.  This is already done in the
tar distribution.

In this example a table is created and the example stats combiner is applied to
the column family stat and hstat.  The stats combiner computes min,max,sum, and
count.  It can be configured to use a different base or radix.  In the example
above the column family stat is configured for base 10 and the column family
hstat is configured for base 16.
