Add Thrift interface to JobTracker/TaskTracker
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-5703
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5703
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: contrib/thiftfs
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Assignee: Todd Lipcon


We currently have Thrift interfaces for accessing the NN and the DFS, but no 
access to the Mapred system. I'm currently working on instrumenting the JT with 
a Thrift plugin. If anyone has any thoughts in this area, please comment on 
this JIRA.

Open questions:
* Is job submission a practical goal to accomplish via Thrift? My thought is 
that this might be a goal for a second JIRA after basic monitoring/reporting is 
working.
* Does this belong in contrib/thriftfs? I propose renaming contrib/thriftfs to 
contrib/thrift, as it will no longer be FS-specific.
