    Description

      IFile assumes that when it has a codec it can always get a compressor. This fails when mapred.compress.map.output is true but the native libraries are not installed, resulting in an NPE:

      java.lang.NullPointerException
      at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.IFile$Writer.<init>(IFile.java:102)
      at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask$MapOutputBuffer.sortAndSpill(MapTask.java:1198)
      at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask$MapOutputBuffer.flush(MapTask.java:1091)
      at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.runOldMapper(MapTask.java:359)
      at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.run(MapTask.java:307)
      at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child.main(Child.java:170)
      

      Let's make IFile handle this case by logging and using non-compressed streams.l
