我有一个map-reduce程序，它在独立（ecllipse）模式下成功运行，但是试图通过在集群中导出jar来运行相同的mr。它像这样显示空指针异常，

13/06/26 05:46:22 ERROR mypackage.HHDriver: Error while configuring run method. 
  java.lang.NullPointerException

我对run方法使用了以下代码。

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException, ClassNotFoundException {
    Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
    Tool headOfHouseHold = new HHDriver();

    try {
        ToolRunner.run(configuration,headOfHouseHold,args);
    } catch (Exception exception) {
        exception.printStackTrace();
        LOGGER.error("Error while configuring run method", exception);
        // System.exit(1);
    }
}

运行方法：

if (args != null && args.length == 8) {
    // Setting the Configurations
    GenericOptionsParser genericOptionsParser=new GenericOptionsParser(args);
    Configuration configuration=genericOptionsParser.getConfiguration();

    //Configuration configuration = new Configuration();

    configuration.set("fs.default.name", args[0]);
    configuration.set("mapred.job.tracker", args[1]);
    configuration.set("deltaFlag",args[2]);                                   
    configuration.set("keyPrefix",args[3]);
    configuration.set("outfileName",args[4]);
    configuration.set("Inpath",args[5]);
    String outputPath=args[6];

    configuration.set("mapred.map.tasks.speculative.execution", "false");
    configuration.set("mapred.reduce.tasks.speculative.execution", "false");

    // To avoid the creation of _LOG and _SUCCESS files
    configuration.set("mapreduce.fileoutputcommitter.marksuccessfuljobs", "false");
    configuration.set("hadoop.job.history.user.location", "none");
    configuration.set(Constants.MAX_NUM_REDUCERS,args[7]);

    // Configuration of the MR-Job
    Job job = new Job(configuration, "HH Job");
    job.setJarByClass(HHDriver.class);
    job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
    job.setOutputValueClass(Text.class);

    job.setNumReduceTasks(HouseHoldingHelper.numReducer(configuration));
    job.setInputFormatClass(TextInputFormat.class);
    job.setOutputFormatClass(TextOutputFormat.class);

    MultipleOutputs.addNamedOutput(job,configuration.get("outfileName"),
                                   TextOutputFormat.class,Text.class,Text.class);

    // Deletion of OutputTemp folder (if exists)
    FileSystem fileSystem = FileSystem.get(configuration);
    Path path = new Path(outputPath);

    if (path != null /*&& path.depth() >= 5*/) {
        fileSystem.delete(path, true);
    }

    // Deletion of empty files in the output (if exists)
    FileStatus[] fileStatus = fileSystem.listStatus(new Path(outputPath));
    for (FileStatus file : fileStatus) {
        if (file.getLen() == 0) {
            fileSystem.delete(file.getPath(), true);
        }
     }
    // Setting the Input/Output paths
    FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(job, new Path(configuration.get("Inpath")));
    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(outputPath));

    job.setMapperClass(HHMapper.class);
    job.setReducerClass(HHReducer.class);

    job.waitForCompletion(true);

    return job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1;

我仔细检查了run方法参数，这些参数不为null，并且它也在独立模式下运行。。
