Research direction

Start in BaselineComputeUtil.java at getAvgInputSizeInBytes line 151, then trace updateBaselineForJob and computeBaseline from the stack trace. Reproduce the Auto Tuner failure for the wordcountpig job and determine what causes the NullPointerException; done means baseline computation completes without this exception.
