-/**
- *  Takes a table of transcripts (eg. UCSC refGene, knownGene, and CCDS tables) and generates the big table which contains
- *  annotations for each possible variant at each transcript position (eg. 4 variants at each genomic position).
- *
- *  Required args:
- *  -B - specifies the input file (ex. -B transcripts,AnnotatorInputTable,/path/to/transcript_table_file.txt)
- *  -n - Specifies which column(s) from the transcript table contain the gene name(s). (ex. -n name,name2  (for the UCSC refGene table))
- *       WARNING: The gene names for each record, when taken together, should provide a unique id for that record relative to all other records in the file.
- *
- *
- *  The map & reduce types are both TreeMap<String, String>.
- *  Each TreeMap entry represents one line in the output file. The TreeMap key is a combination of a given output line's position (so that this key can be used to sort all output lines
- *  by reference order), as well as allele and gene names (so that its unique across all output lines). The String value is the output line itself.
