Pranay Varma updated MAPREDUCE-5339:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/Job.html

The uber capability is not defined. isUber does not indicate what uber is.
Only the signature is provided. I would like to know what the uber capability is. there is no reference to any other place where uber might have been defined.

The same is true of isRetired. All methods of the Job class should be checked to make sure that the context is clear. isRetired does not indicate how a job gets Retried since there is no setRetired. There should be some reference to the process of retiring.
