Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-1425:
---------------------------------------

I would make the trivial example be:

{code}
public class Foo {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
     JobClient.runJob(new OptionParser().fillInConfiguration(new JobConf(), 
argv));
  } 
}
{code}

JobClient likely should have another method that calls System.exit with the 
result of the run, but that is neither here nor there. By making it a straight 
library, you have made the code easier to understand with well separated areas 
of concern. There are also easy ways to add additional parameters, etc.
