extend JobClient.runJob(JobConf) with the ability to take a timeout, so fail
better during test runs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
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.
