Description

The ApplicationReport should have the jobFile (e.g. hdfs://localhost:9000/tmp/hadoop-<USER>/mapred/staging/<USER>/.staging/job_201107121640_0001/job.xml)

Without it, jobs such as MRReliabilityTest fail with the following error (caused by the fact that jobFile is hardcoded to "" in TypeConverter.java):
e.g. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not create a Path from an empty string
