> As described in paragraph "Total Sort" in HTDG book, page 223, I tried to create a Hadoop job to sort globally some input, using InputSampler with TotalOrderPartitioner.
> Please run the mapreduce Sort example with the following arguments to reproduce the exception.

> org.apache.hadoop.examples.Sort
> 	-r 2
> 	-outKey org.apache.hadoop.io.Text

> We need to initialize the reader to avoid the NPE occuring when generating the partition file:
> {noformat}
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
> 	at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.LineRecordReader.nextKeyValue(LineRecordReader.java:149)
> 	at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.KeyValueLineRecordReader.nextKeyValue(KeyValueLineRecordReader.java:91)
> 	at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.partition.InputSampler$RandomSampler.getSample(InputSampler.java:220)

> Right now, this initialization only happens in runNewMapper in org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask, but the sampling is performed before the job started. TeraInputFormat class for the TeraSort has its own writePartitionFile method. This is the javadoc comment of createRecordReader method in InputFormat class:
> {noformat}
>    * Create a record reader for a given split. The framework will call
>    * {@link RecordReader#initialize(InputSplit, TaskAttemptContext)} before
>    * the split is used.
