"Job failed" message masking the real exception meesage

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While debugging my code in my own branch, the test case tpch/q7_volume_shipping 
was throwing a "Job Failed" error message. If you trace it, the exception is 
constructed in DatasetDirectoryService.updatedRecords().

I traced the origin of the failure, and it turned out to be:
edu.uci.ics.hyracks.api.exceptions.HyracksDataException: Cannot activate index 
since memory budget would be exceeded.

Long story short, this is because I changed number of IO devices per NC, and 
since this test case is creating many datasets, the configured memory budget is 
now low. This is a separate issue and probably we will need to increase the 
budget in order for this test case to pass.

Regardless, the error message "Job Failed" should be removed and the real 
exception should be propagated to the user.

I would call this a beta blocker.

I think Madhusudan is working on that:  issue355.
