I has read your code ,I think you should add
job.setInputFormatClass(MultiLineInputFormat.class);
when you not set the that ,it would use TextInputFormat and the value is
Text default.You may thought
that "MultiLineInputFormat.addInputPath()" would set the InputFormatClass
auto, but it doesn't do that.
You also can set configuration.set("mapred.job.tracker","local") and add
some log info to debug you program.

Good Luck!
