--------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-7021
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7021
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: io
    Affects Versions: 0.20.1
         Environment: Hadoop 0.20.1, Centos
            Reporter: John Lee
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.20.1


We have encountered a NullPointerException when we use MapWritable with custom 
Writable objects.

The root cause is the counter newClasses in AbstractMapWritable is allowed to 
get out of sync with the id to class mapping tables when addToMap(Class) is 
called.  We have a patch to AbstractMapWritable.addToMap(Class) that handles 
the case when newClasses gets out of sync with the id to class mapping tables 
and adds a serialization optimization to minimize the number of class names to 
write out per MapWritable object.
