> As a beginner, when I learned about the basic of the mr, I found that I cound't run the WordCount2 using the command "bin/hadoop jar wc.jar WordCount2 /user/joe/wordcount/input /user/joe/wordcount/output" in the Tutorial. The VM throwed the NullPoniterException at the line 47. In the line 45, the returned default value of "conf.getBoolean" is true. That is to say  when "wordcount.skip.patterns" is not set ,the WordCount2 will continue to execute getCacheFiles.. Then patternsURIs gets the null value. When the "-skip" option dosen't exist,  "wordcount.skip.patterns" will not be set. Then a NullPointerException come out.
> At all, the block after the if-statement in line no. 45 shoudn't be executed when the "-skip" option dosen't exist in command. Maybe the line 45 should like that  "if (conf.getBoolean("wordcount.skip.patterns", false)) { "
> .Just change the boolean.
