      Create some test data:

      use test
db.test.drop()
db.test.insert({ _id : 1, x : 1 })
db.test.insert({ _id : 2, x : 2 })
db.test.insert({ _id : 3, x : 2 })

      Define map and reduce functions and call mapReduce:

      var map = "function map() { emit(this.x, 1); }"
var reduce = "function reduce(key, values) { return values.length; }"

db.test.mapReduce(map, reduce, { out : { inline : 1 } })

      The result is:

      {
        "results" : [
                {
                        "_id" : 1,
                        "value" : 1
                },
                {
                        "_id" : 2,
                        "value" : 2
                }
        ],
        "timeMillis" : 12,
        "counts" : {
                "input" : 3,
                "emit" : 3,
                "reduce" : 1,
                "output" : 2
        },
        "ok" : 1
}

      Now add a semicolon to the end of the string for the map function:

      var map = "function map() { emit(this.x, 1); };"

db.test.mapReduce(map, reduce, { out : { inline : 1 } })

      This time the result is:

      {
        "results" : [ ],
        "timeMillis" : 14,
        "counts" : {
                "input" : 3,
                "emit" : 0,
                "reduce" : 0,
                "output" : 0
        },
        "ok" : 1
}

      Note the empty results array and the 0 emit count.

      If a string representing the map function for mapReduce ends in a semicolon the mapReduce fails silently and no results are returned.

      I'm not saying this should necessarily work. But it should either work or result in an error. It's the silent part that's the problem.
