We experienced several jobs stuck in Reduce on a cluster. All of the stuck 
reduce tasks had a similar were stuck at "Need another 2 map output(s) where 0 
is already in progress" despite all of the mappers having completed, and 0 
scheduled. The stuck reducers had experienced the following exception early in 
the shuffle:

java.lang.NullPointerException
