> I'm marking this as minor as it is most obvious in the MiniMRCluster, but the root cause is in the JT.
> If you instantiate an MiniMR Cluster without setting {{hadoop.job.history.location}} in the configuration and the system property {{hadoop.log.dir}} unset, then the JobHistory throws an NPE. In production, that would be picked up as a failure to start the JT. In the MiniMRCluster, all it does is crash the JT thread -which isn't noticed by the MiniMR cluster. You see the logged error, but the tests will just timeout waiting for things to come up
