----------------------------------------

             Summary: SequenceFileRecordReader NPE if close() is called before 
initialize()
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-5876
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5876
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Reinis Vicups


org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.SequenceFileRecordReader extends 
org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.RecordReader which in turn implements 
java.io.Closeable.

According to java spec the java.io.Closeable#close() has to be idempotent 
(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/io/Closeable.html) which is not.

An NPE is being thrown if close() method is invoked without previously calling 
initialize() method. This happens because SequenceFile.Reader in is null.
