xgboost in yarn container failing to start without obvious error

[antonymayi]

I am unable to launch xgboost on yarn - all the containers fails upon starting spilling following output:

antony.mayi(&container_1442490159810_0228_01_000007��stderr�0�stdout�0(&container_1442490159810_0228_01_000002��stderr�0�stdout�0(&container_1442490159810_0228_01_000011��stderr�0�stdout�0��

�data:TFile.index�none��66data:TFile.meta�none�����]����h��׶9�A@���P

I am quite puzzled where to look now,
thanks Antony.

after the workaround from #31 this is no longer an issue.
