Duplicate “values” for some key in map-reduce java program

I am new in mapreduce and hadoop (hadoop 3.2.3 and java 8). I am trying to separate some lines based on a symbol in a line. Example: “q1,a,q0,” should be return (‘a’,”q1,a,q0,”) as (key, value). My dataset contains ten(10) lines , five(5) for key ‘a’ and five for key ‘b’.

I expect to get 5 line for each key but i always get five for ‘a’ and 10 for ‘b’

Data

A,q0,a,q1;A,q0,b,q0;A,q1,a,q1;A,q1,b,q2;A,q2,a,q1;A,q2,b,q0;B,s0,a,s0;B,s0,b,s1;B,s1,a,s1;B,s1,b,s0

    private  ByteWritable key1 = new ByteWritable();
    //private int n ;
    private int count =0 ;
    private Text wordObject = new Text();
    @Override
    public void map(LongWritable key, Text value, Context context)throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        String ftext = value.toString();
        for (String line: ftext.split(";")) {
            
            wordObject = new Text();
            if (line.split(",")[2].equals("b")) {
                
                key1.set((byte) 'b');
                wordObject.set(line) ;
                context.write(key1,wordObject);
                continue ;

        for(Text val : values ) {

Answer

The problem was solved by putting the variable “count” inside the function “Reduce()”.
