> When using NullWritable as VertexData, EdgeData or MessageData, an error
> occurs. This happens because the constructor of NullWritable is private, so
> ReflectionUtils.newInstance() fails. The solution is checking for
> NullWritable separately, and then returning NullWritable.get() instead of a
> new class. This can save very large amounts of memory, since NullWritable is
> a singleton.
> This was reported on the mailing list, but never fixed:
