Description

When a job fails the client is not showing any diagnostics. For example, running a fail job results in this not-so-helpful message from the client:

2012-09-07 21:12:00,649 INFO  [main] mapreduce.Job (Job.java:monitorAndPrintJob(1308)) - Job job_1347052207658_0001 failed with state FAILED due to:

...and nothing else to go with it indicating what went wrong. The job diagnostics are apparently not making it back to the client.
