Here is my specific problem: I have a sample word count Hadoop program up on github ( https://github.com/wpm/WordCountTestAdapter) that illustrates unit testing techniques for Hadoop. This code uses the new API. (On my development machine I'm using version 0.20.2) I want to use Maven for its build framework because that seems like the way the Java world is going. Currently the pom.xml for this project makes no mention of Hadoop. If you try to do a "mvn install" you get the errors I described earlier. I want to change this project so that "mvn install" builds it.
I can find the pre-0.21 (old API) hadoop-core JARs on http://mvnrepository.com, but I can't find the post-0.21 (new API) hadoop-mapred here. Do I need to add another Maven repository server to get the new API JARs?
