Description

Several of the static methods in the HADOOP-1230 api aren't consistent in that the setters take Job objects and the getters take Configuration objects. It would be better if the getters took JobContext objects.

This patch adds JavaDoc to the public methods and changes the getters to take JobContext objects.
