Getting java.lang.NullPointerException in running PageRank #96

Description

@keeyonghan

I have a pair of 35M of links from 117K nodes and ran pagerank job on 3 node m2.2xlarge EMR cluster. Initially I got out of memory error in the reduce phase so I increased the JVM size and then now I am getting the following error (and this happens in one reduce job and the other 3 completes without any error):

2015-01-04 03:44:40,349 WARN [main] org.apache.hadoop.mapred.YarnChild: Exception running child : org.apache.pig.backend.executionengine.ExecException: ERROR 0: Exception while executing (Name: topic_ranks: New For Each(false,false,false)[bag] - scope-42 Operator Key: scope-42): org.apache.pig.backend.executionengine.ExecException: ERROR 0: Exception while executing [POUserFunc (Name: POUserFunc(datafu.pig.linkanalysis.PageRank)[bag] - scope-33 Operator Key: scope-33) children: null at []]: java.lang.NullPointerException

Any idea how to resolve this issue? I used Hadoop 2.4.0 and Pig 0.12.0.
