The Job class encapsulates the Configuration object and manages it for
you. You can also get its reference out via Job.getConfiguration() ->
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/JobContext.html#getConfiguration()
Hence, when you do a: "Job job = new Job();", the internal
Configuration object is auto-created for you. This is how the
underlying constructor looks:
public Job() throws IOException {
this(new Configuration());
}
