Description

The local job runner gets a null pointer, if the job doesn't have an output directory.

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path.<init>(Path.java:61)
at org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path.<init>(Path.java:50)
at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.LocalJobRunner$Job.run(LocalJobRunner.java:117)

The Job Tracker also gets an ERROR log message, which is incorrect and should be removed.
