implement map reduce

[mjbroerman]

I was looking for a fast kmer counter and came across this as well as your package: https://pirl.unc.edu/blog/shaking-the-rust-off-python-redox

I guess there's also needletail which is older, on crates.io and hence more depended on, but yours uses rayon, so a better fit for the implementation at the link. Is that right?

This is also more recently maintained, just by you. 😄

Nice that you are still maintaining this starter project! I myself am starting to learn rust. It seems you have been hoping to implement hashmaps also. Let me know if you would like a contribution--please be warned, it is early days for me!

My use case is that I want to populate a large array with kmer counts from sequencing reads, likely from FASTQ files. Since that is supported by needletail I might start there.

@mjbroerman I'm so sorry I'm only seeing your comment today!

I would welcome your contributions! Again apologies for seeing this late, I've been using a different account for work for the past 6 months and lost track of notifications here...
