Description

My HADOOP-6220 patch failed on Hudson with an error TestUTF8, but not one that is in any way useful:

Error Message: null

Stacktrace:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: null
	at org.apache.hadoop.io.TestUTF8.testIO(TestUTF8.java:80)

The tests should use better assertions for easier diagnostics
