Hadoop Streaming shoulf fail if user process exits with non-zero exit code
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-3303
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3303
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: contrib/streaming
            Reporter: Zheng Shao
            Assignee: Zheng Shao


Hadoop streaming quietly ignores the user process exit code. This is extremely 
dangerous because the user won't notice the problem while the output data is 
likely to be corrupted or incomplete.

User process may have read all input data into input buffer, and then finds a 
problem in the input data, and exit with an error code and hopes that hadoop 
streaming can capture that.

The current hadoop streaming just put this exit code into a log file and 
ignores it.
