> 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().
