Description

Another automated testing issue: ExamplesIT jobs which launched MapReduce tasks all failed with an error that YARN couldn't find the JAR specified.

Looking into it some more, StandaloneClusterControl tried to launch the MapReduce task from the first host listed in the masters file which didn't have the examples-simple jar there (because the tests built it locally).

We should probably launch mapreduce tasks locally – not on a different host.
