> In PigSplit.java, line 254:
> {code}
> SerializationFactory sf = new SerializationFactory(conf);
> Serializer s = sf.getSerializer(wrappedSplits[0].getClass());
> s.open((OutputStream) os);
> {code}
> sf.getSerializer returns null when it cannot find a serializer for a given
> object. Instead of handling this properly, a NPE is thrown when s.open() is
> called.
> This is easy to encounter when creating a custom InputSplit from the
> mapreduce package which is an abstract class that DOES NOT implement Writable.
> However it's easy to miss because InputSplit from the mapred package is an
> interface that extends Writable, and InputSplits often both extend and
> implement both the new and old InputSplit abstract class and interface
> (thereby becoming Writable).
