Minor Description
Here's an example of a failure when a test attempts to run using the local-job-runner:

This is a DistCp(v2) test, built and run using Maven. DistCp's tests depend on the following maven artifacts:
1. hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient
2. hadoop-hdfs
3. hadoop-common
The failure is in spite of doing a " conf.set(MRConfig.FRAMEWORK_NAME, "local");". Vinod (KV)'s in the loop on this. It appears that the root-cause lies in org/apache/hadoop/mapred/LocalClientProtocolProvider.class not being available in class-path. This might have to do with MR1 not having been maven-ized, or some such.
I haven't a clean way around this for the moment, so I'll temporarily disable this distcp-test from running. It would be nice, however, to have maven-tests that use local-job-runner to run through.
