Description

Currently, hadoop-mapreduce-client-nativetask creates a nttest binary which provides an binary exit code to determine failure. This means there is no output generated by the Jenkins run to actually debug or provide hints as to what failed. Given that nttest is written with gtest, it should be configured to either spit out junit or TAP which can then be used to provide further analysis.
