> org.apache.hadoop.util.VersionInfo loads the version-info.properties file via 
> the current thread classloader.
> However, in case of applications that are using hadoop classes dynamically  
> (eg jdbc based tools such as SQuirreL SQL) the current thread might not be 
> the one that loaded the hadoop classes including VersionInfo, and it would 
> fail to fine the properties file.
> The right place to look for the properties file is in the classloader of 
> VersionInfo class, as right version is the one that is associated with rest 
> of the loaded hadoop classes,  and not necessarily the one in current thread 
> classloader.
> Created a related jira - HADOOP-14066 to make methods to get version via 
> VersionInfo a public api.
