Description

The javadocs in org.apache.hadoop.util.Tool contain an example to use the tool runner to invoke a tool.

If you copy and paste the example into a java file it doesn't even compile

1. job.setInputPath() isn't there
2. job.setOutputPath() isn't there
3. job.waitForCompletion() isn't invoked
4. the Tool.run() implementation doesn't contain a return statement.

The processed javadocs are online: http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r1.0.3/api/org/apache/hadoop/util/Tool.html
