Owen O'Malley updated HADOOP-1971:
----------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 0.14.2)
                   0.15.0

This isn't a bug and so should not go into 14.2. I can see the motivation for 
the warning, but not all jobs need a jar file. We should probably move the 
examples to be more explicit and do:

{code}
  JobConf conf = new JobConf();
  conf.setJarByClass(MyClass.class);
{code}

so it will be more obvious when you drop it out what is likely to happen.

> Constructing a JobConf without a class leads to a very misleading error 
> message.

> If this line from a typical map/reduce program
