> Currently, if the provided Key/Value class lacks a proper serializer in the
> loaded config for the SequenceFile.Writer, we get an NPE as the null return
> goes unchecked.
> Hence we get:
> {code}
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> at org.apache.hadoop.io.SequenceFile$Writer.init(SequenceFile.java:1163)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.io.SequenceFile$Writer.<init>(SequenceFile.java:1079)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.io.SequenceFile$RecordCompressWriter.<init>(SequenceFile.java:1331)
> at org.apache.hadoop.io.SequenceFile.createWriter(SequenceFile.java:271)
> {code}
> We can provide a better message + exception in such cases. This is slightly
> related to MAPREDUCE-2584.
