                 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.
