Description

The MRunit ReduceDriver does not replicate the behaviour of re-using the pointer to the returned values as they are iterated over. This is a problem for testing as it does not fail when you are incorrectly storing this pointer for a value if you want to use it later on in the iteration over the values.

The behaviour should be modified so the iterator will return the same pointer every time.
