Harsh J commented on MAPREDUCE-3516:
------------------------------------

I'm +1 for better error messages over javadocs. I think this is more of an 
user-error situation, than it is a behavior/warning.

Would this regress any stuff with various serializations, that may even accept 
a 'null' as some valid k/v? Or does that have no chance to pass at all, since 
we attempt to call general methods on top of the key/value instances?

> *org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.MapOutputBuffer.collect* accepts a pair of 
> Key and Value. There is chance that if somehow if a Null value or Key is 
> passed to the method, we can end up having NPE.
