Not seen on hive-.13 version. Note: Hive (both .13 & .14) is using the MRv1 API of the InputFormat. Should also mention that GeoJsonInputFormat had passed integration testing with a custom MapReduce application - that exercised MRv2 rather than MRv1.

I have a patch in development - need to prepare commit.

Hive-.13: TextInputFormat => OK, FileInputFormat => OK. Hive-.14: TextInputFormat => NPE, FileInputFormat => OK.

Not sure whether to characterize this as a bug in UnenclosedGeoJsonInputFormat, or/versus, a bug in Hive-.14; fortunately the anonymous class extending FileInputFormat<K,V> works in both.
