Thanks, I managed to correlate proper line numbers.
Are you using some form of custom serialization in your job code? That
is, are your keys non-Writable types and are of some other type? The
specific NPE is arising from the SerializationFactory not being able
to find a serializer for your Map-Output key class. You may want to
look into that direction, or share your code for the list to spot it
instead.
