Jobs fail immediately in local mode ?

[Jay Vyas <ja...@gmail.com>]

Im running a job in local mode, and have found that it returns immediately,
switching job state to FAILURE.

>From the /tmp/hadoop-jay directory, I see that clearly an attempt was made
to run the job , and that some files seem to have been created....  But I
don't see any clues.

Any thoughts on how i can further diagnose whats happening and why my job
fails without a stacktrace?  Because I dont have hadoop installed on the
system (i.e. im just running a java app that fires up  a hadoop client
locally), I cant see anything in /var/log .
