Avro AvroMultipleOutputs part-r-00000: File is not open for writing Exception - hadoop

Question

I have written a MapReduce Job with Avro 1.7.4 on Hadoop 2.3.0. In the first step I wrote all the Avro Results in a AvroSequenceFile. Everything worked well without problems.
Then I tried to use the AvroMultipleOutputs class to write the results in different files. I wrote the same MapReduce Job without using Avro and it was no problem to write the data in two separate files (btw. part-r-00000 was created in hdfs but left empty).
The Avro variant produces exceptions if I write data in the reducer. (If I comment out the lines which write data out I get no exceptions).
Here is Job configurations:
this.conf = new Configuration();
Job job = Job.getInstance(conf);
job.setJarByClass(ArchiveDataProcessorMR.class);
Path inPath = new Path(props.getProperty("inPath").trim());
Path outPath = new Path(props.getProperty("outPath").trim());
Path outPathMeta = new Path(props.getProperty("outPath.meta").trim());
Path outPathPayload = new Path(props.getProperty("outPath.payload").trim());
// cleanup resources from previous run
FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(conf);
fs.delete(outPath, true);
FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(job, inPath);
FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, outPath);
AvroSequenceFileInputFormat<DataExportKey,DataExportValue> sequenceInputFormat = new AvroSequenceFileInputFormat<DataExportKey,DataExportValue>();
job.setInputFormatClass(sequenceInputFormat.getClass());
AvroJob.setInputValueSchema(job, DataExportValue.getClassSchema());
AvroJob.setInputKeySchema(job, DataExportKey.getClassSchema());
AvroJob.setMapOutputValueSchema(job, DataExportValue.getClassSchema());
AvroJob.setMapOutputKeySchema(job, DataExportKey.getClassSchema());
job.setMapperClass(ArchiveDataMapper.class);
job.setReducerClass(ArchiveDataReducer.class);
AvroSequenceFileOutputFormat<DataExportKey,DataExportValue> sequenceOutputFormat = new AvroSequenceFileOutputFormat<DataExportKey,DataExportValue>();
AvroJob.setOutputKeySchema(job, DataExportKey.getClassSchema());
AvroJob.setOutputValueSchema(job, DataExportValue.getClassSchema());
job.setOutputFormatClass(AvroSequenceFileOutputFormat.class);
AvroMultipleOutputs.addNamedOutput(job, "meta", sequenceOutputFormat.getClass(), DataExportKey.getClassSchema(), DataExportValue.getClassSchema());
AvroMultipleOutputs.addNamedOutput(job, "payload", sequenceOutputFormat.getClass(), DataExportKey.getClassSchema(), DataExportValue.getClassSchema());
The reducer code (without the business logic) looks like
public static class ArchiveDataReducer extends Reducer<AvroKey<DataExportKey>, AvroValue<DataExportValue>,AvroKey<DataExportKey>,AvroValue<DataExportValue>> {
private AvroMultipleOutputs amos;
public void setup(Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
this.amos = new AvroMultipleOutputs(context);
}
public void cleanup(Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
this.amos.close();
}
/**
* #param key
*/
public void reduce(AvroKey<DataExportKey> key, Iterable<AvroValue<DataExportValue>> xmlIter, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
try {
DataExportValue newValue = new DataExportValue();
if (key.datum()......) {
... snip...
amos.write("meta",key, new AvroValue<DataExportValue>(newValue));
} else {
... snip...
amos.write("payload",key, new AvroValue<DataExportValue>(newValue));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
} // class ArchiveDataReducer
The exception message is

Any hints how to solve this problem? Did you get another example with AvroMultipleOutputs running? I would like to see your code.
Kind regards
