Enhance JobClient API implementations to look at history files to get 
information about jobs that are not in memory

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-864
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-864
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: jobtracker
            Reporter: Devaraj Das
             Fix For: 0.21.0


MAPREDUCE-817 added an API to get the JobHistory URL from the JobTracker. This 
is useful in two ways:
1) Users can use this API to get the URL, copy the history files to their local 
disk, and, do processing on them
2) APIs like JobSubmissionProtocol.getJobCounters, can read a part of the 
history file, and then return the information to the caller (if the job is not 
there in JT memory). This would  mimic most of the CompletedJobsStatusStore 
functionality.
