Description

When running big top smokes, the iTest which invokes hadoop jobs could be much more informative if it printed the hadoop job command invoked.

The org.apache.bigtop.itest and org.apache.bigtop.itest.hadoop.mapreduce both could be more revealing in failure conditions where:

1) (itest package) the TestUtils.unpackTestResources(..) which can't be copied into the default HCFS file system — should be reported in the assertTrue calls.

2) (mapreduce package) TestHadoopExamples.groovy - the MRExample should report the exact command that failed in the assertTrue call.
