If i run the wordcount example on 1 small (less than 2MB) file i get the
following error:

If i run the wordcount test with 2 files, it works fine.
I have actually repeated this with my own code. I am working on something that
requires me to map/reduce a small file and I had to work around the problem by
splitting the file into 2 1MB pieces for my job to run.
All our jobs that run on 1 single larger file (over 1GB) work flawlessly. I am
not exactly sure the threshold, From the testing i have done it seems to be any
file smaller than the default HDFS block size (64MB) Sometimes it seems random
in the 5-64MB range. But its 100% for the 5MB and smaller files.
