Thanks Ted - It was just a class cast on line 161 of HFileOutput2.write, 
because I had previously read that you could give it Puts, but it can actually 
only take Cells. You can only do Puts if you use configureIncrementalLoad which 
then sets up the PutSortReducer as I discussed in my other email.

Tom:
Can you pastebin the stack trace for the exception ?

It would be nice if you can show snippet of your code too.

Thanks
