原因

1、可能是在调用设置的value类的某个方法时，找不到该方法。

2、可能是在Driver中设置的setMapOutputValueClass与实际在map中定义的输出类型不一致。

如我的代码的map中，设置value的输出为Group

org.apache.parquet.example.data.Group;

该类没有compareTo方法，而map结束后，会对数据进行排序（一次快排，一次递归，感兴趣可自行了解mr流程）。所以会调用value类的compareTo方法。

如果value类没有compareTo方法，则会报空指针异常。

解决

如果需要输出Group，可在map中先输出Text，在reduce中再将其转换成Group。

或者自定义一个类，继承Group，并自己写compareTo方法。
