Description

In JobClient.java, we have:

    if (commandConf != null) {
      files = commandConf.get("tmpfiles");
      libjars = commandConf.get("tmpjars");
      archives = commandConf.get("tmparchives");
    }

The good thing about tmparchives is that TT will automatically unarchive the files (because "tmparchives" goes through DistributeCache.addCacheArchive, while TT won't do that for "tmpfiles").

We should have "add archive" which sets "tmparchives".
