Description

YARN-2229 modified the private unstable api for constructing. Tez uses this api (shouldn't, but does) for use with Tez Local Mode. This causes a NoSuchMethod error when using Tez compiled against pre-2.6. Instead I propose we add the backwards compatible api since overflow is not a problem in tez local mode.
