> uses of protobuf 2.5 and RpcEnginej have been deprecated since 3.3.0 in 
> HADOOP-17046
> while still keeping those files around (for a long time...), how about we 
> make the protobuf 2.5.0 export off hadoop common and hadoop-hdfs *provided*, 
> rather than *compile*
> that way, if apps want it for their own apis, they have to explicitly ask for 
> it, but at least our own scans don't break.
> i have no idea what will happen to the rest of the stack at this point, it 
> will be "interesting" to see
