One more comment about restartability, I think we could potentially support
this with this architecture in the future. You can recover the Job object from
MR via the JobClient
```
Configuration conf = new Configuration();
JobClient jobClient = new JobClient(new JobConf(conf)); // deprecation WARN
JobID jobID = JobID.forName("job_201107011451_0001"); // deprecation WARN
RunningJob runningJob = jobClient.getJob(jobID);
```
We could look for jobs which are completed but not in the HDFS structure
and recover them on REST start. I would suggest doing that as a follow-on
though.
