It seems that the OutputMapFns for PTypes aren't initialised when running in local memory. For most types this doesn't matter, but it gets tricky when using a Tuple as a key or value type in a PTable or a PCollection of Tuples; the following exception gets thrown:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.crunch.types.writable.Writables$TupleTWMapFn.map(Writables.java:376)
	at org.apache.crunch.types.writable.Writables$TupleTWMapFn.map(Writables.java:337)
	at org.apache.crunch.impl.mem.MemPipeline.writeSequenceFileFromPTable(MemPipeline.java:270)
	at org.apache.crunch.impl.mem.MemPipeline.write(MemPipeline.java:196)
	at org.apache.crunch.impl.mem.MemPipeline.write(MemPipeline.java:177)


I'm currently working around this issue by explicitly calling the initialize() method on MapFn, like this:
table.getPTableType().getValueType().getOutputMapFn().initialize();
