JobClient's isSuccessful and isComplete API's can throw NPE in some cases
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-2346
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2346
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client
    Affects Versions: 0.20.1
            Reporter: Bhallamudi Venkata Siva Kamesh
            Priority: Minor


Description:

* Submit a job to the job tracker and let the job complete its execution through one of the job client's submitJob APIs. 
* Jobclient returns a handle to the job, in the form of a RunningJob object. Client can use this object to check whether job is sucessful or whether job is completed.
* Reduce the following property *mapred.jobtracker.retirejob.interval*.By default this value is 1 day. I reduced it to 5 min.
* Set the property *mapred.job.tracker.persist.jobstatus.active* to {color:blue}*false*{color}.
* Call either isComplete or isSuccessful APIs, after *mapred.jobtracker.retirejob.interval* time period, previously mentioned APIs throw NPE.

Below I am attaching stack trace
