if you are using the sh or bash, the variable $? holds the exit status of
the last command to execute.
hadoop jar streaming.jar ...
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "My job failed" 2>&1
exit 1
fi
Caution $? is the very last command to execute's exit status. It is easy to
run another command before testing and then test the wrong command's exit
status
