Find the maximum absolute row sum of matrix using MapReduce

The find the maximum absolute row sum of matrix is a good fit with MapReduce model as below.

j=n
The maximum absolute row sum = max ( sum | a_{i,j} | )
1<=i<=n j=1


- A map task receives a row n as a key, and vector of each row as its value
- emit (row, the sum of the absolute value of each entries)
- Reduce task select the maximum one

Maybe it can be written in java as below.

Vector v = givenValue;

double rowSum;
for(VectorEntry e : v) {
rowSum += Math.abs(e.get(i));
}

    wouldn't it be e.get(i) in your example?
