> The corner case where there are zero map-outputs doesn't pass the codec to the IFile.Writer leading to un-compressed data and subsequently failure on the reduce when it tries to decompress that data.
> The straight-forward fix is to pass the codec:
> {noformat}
>            Writer<K, V> writer = new Writer<K, V>(job, finalOut, 
> -                                                 keyClass, valClass, null);
> +                                                 keyClass, valClass, codec);
> {noformat}
