Each time the statement "Text value = values.next();" is executed it always returns the same Text object with the contents of that object changed. When you add the Text to the list, you are adding a pointer to the same Text object. At the end you have 6 copies of the same pointer instead of 6 different Text objects. The reason that I said it is my fault, is because I added the optimization that causes it. If you are interested in Hadoop archeology, it was HADOOP-2399 that made the change. I also did HADOOP-3522 to improve the documentation in the area. -- Owen
