Josh Wills commented on CRUNCH-468: ----------------------------------- Yeah, so this doesn't happen with typedCollectionOf. It seems like the right thing to do would be to have collectionOf attempt to infer a PType from the class of the object it contains by default, and we could have a method on MemPipeline that would allow you to control what the default PTypeFamily was-- Writable is probably the right choice. > MemPipeline.collectionOf() leads to NPE in PCollection.length() > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CRUNCH-468 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRUNCH-468 > Project: Crunch > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Reporter: Jeremy Beard > Assignee: Josh Wills > > MemPipeline.collectionOf() creates a PCollection with a null PTypeFamily. > When PCollection.length() is run it uses the PTypeFamily of the PCollection > to serialize the running count of the records, which leads to a NPE for > PCollections created as above. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
