Andrew Wang commented on HADOOP-13363:
--------------------------------------

Yes, basically. I still remember when we bumped the protobuf version shortly 
before 2.2.0 GA, and the downstream pain it caused due to ABI conflicts.

We have the shaded-client now, but no one is using it yet, and there are also 
all the downstreams incorrectly depending on hadoop-hdfs rather than a client 
artifact. HBase was able to upgrade safely through shading PB. We also need a 
safe transition for our downstreams.

> Upgrade protobuf from 2.5.0 to something newer

> Standard protobuf 2.5.0 does not work properly on many platforms.  (See, for 
> example, https://gist.github.com/BennettSmith/7111094 ).  In order for us to 
> avoid crazy work arounds in the build environment and the fact that 2.5.0 is 
> starting to slowly disappear as a standard install-able package for even 
> Linux/x86, we need to either upgrade or self bundle or something else.
