> Key: HADOOP-4639
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4639
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: test
> Affects Versions: 0.20.0
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Assignee: Steve Loughran
> Priority: Minor
>
> Tests that submit jobs via JobClient hang until they are killed if something
> goes wrong in the back end -JobClient does not impose limits on how long runs
> should take, but JUnit does. If we had an overload of runJob() that took a
> timeout, JobClient could kill a job that was taking too long, extracting the
> stack trace and better diagnostics to the test reports.
