Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-10389:
-------------------------------------------

bq. Boost in general has a versioning problem which is really bad for 
libraries. If your library links against version X of boost, any application 
linking to you needs to use the same version... otherwise bad stuff happens.

FWIW, I agree wholeheartedly. Boost's major, blocker-level drawback is it's 
compatibility with itself. Enough of one, that I'm more than willing to -1 any 
patch that uses it.  The operational issues of trying to support multiple 
versions of boost on a machine are too high of a wall to climb.  Been there, 
done that, didn't even get a t-shirt.
