Tom White commented on MAPREDUCE-118:
-------------------------------------
+1 to Amareshwari's changes. They fix Job#getJobID() within the current (0.20)
API. I think patch-118-0.20.txt can be committed to the 0.20 branch, and
patch-118-1.txt to trunk (which will go into the forthcoming 0.21 release).
> Job.getJobID() will always return null

> JobContext is used for a read-only view of job's info. Hence all the readonly
> fields in JobContext are set in the constructor. Job extends JobContext. When
> a Job is created, jobid is not known and hence there is no way to set JobID
> once Job is created. JobID is obtained only when the JobClient queries the
> jobTracker for a job-id., which happens later i.e upon job submission.
