             Summary: Flushing ObjectOutputStream before calling toByteArray on 
the underlying ByteArrayOutputStream
                 Key: PIG-4795
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4795
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: emopers


In PigSplit.java
{code}
    private void writeObject(Serializable obj, DataOutput os)
            throws IOException {
        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(baos);
        oos.writeObject(obj);
        byte[] bytes = baos.toByteArray();
        os.writeInt(bytes.length);
        os.write(bytes);
    }
{code}
When an ObjectOutputStream instance wraps an underlying ByteArrayOutputStream 
instance,
it is recommended to flush or close the ObjectOutputStream before invoking the 
underlying instances's toByteArray(). Also, it is a good practice to call 
flush/close explicitly as mentioned for example at 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2984538/how-to-use-bytearrayoutputstream-and-dataoutputstream-simultaneously-java.
The patch adds a flush method before calling toByteArray().
