Hi Pedro, This is interesting. Which version of Hadoop are you using? And where did you get the example class files? Also, are you able to reproduce it deterministically? Nicholas

[code] public void map(LongWritable offset, LongWritable size, OutputCollector<BooleanWritable, LongWritable> out, Reporter reporter) throws IOException {} [/code] What's wrong with this examples?
