Josh Wills commented on CRUNCH-166:
-----------------------------------
That's a puzzle. Are you doing any other manipulations to the Configuration
object? Is it possible that the pipeline that you're calling in writeTextFile
isn't the same one that the PCollection is originally created from? (I'm
admittedly grasping at straws at this point.)

> I'm attempting to count some strings and then order by the count descending.
> My code effectively looks like this:
> {code}
> PCollection<SomeType> records = pipeline.read(...);
> PCollection<String> stringsToCount = records.parallelDo(
> new DoFn<SomeType, String>() {
> @Override
> public void process(SomeType input,Emitter<String> emitter) {
> if (input.getRecords() != null && input.getRecords().size()
> > 0)
> {
> for (MyRecord record : input.getRecords())
> {
> emitter.emit(record.getValue().toString());
> }
> }
> }
> },
> Writables.strings()
> );
> PTable<String, Long> stats = Aggregate.count(stringsToCount);
> PCollection<Pair<String, Long>> sortedStats = Sort.sortPairs(stats, new
> ColumnOrder(2, Order.DESCENDING));
> pipeline.writeTextFile(sortedStats,"somewhere");
> {code}
> The error I get is:
> {code}
> java.lang.NullPointerException

> Note that the line numbers are shifted because I added some debugging and
> recompiled. The NullPointerException is thrown in
> TupleWritableComparator.setConf() here:
> {code}
> String[] columnOrderNames = ordering.split(",");
> {code}
> I suppose "crunch.ordering" is not set, and therefore ordering is null. When
> I check the conf in job tracker I also don't see this property set.
> Am I doing something wrong?
