Since the default build should still be 0.20.203.0, I'm not sure how it'd end up not being binary compatible. I can update the ticket to clarify the language. Any need to compile should be limited to running Hadoop 2.2.0.

For users of Hadoop 0.20.203.0, upgrading should be unchanged from how they would normally get their Accumulo 1.4.x distribution. ACCUMULO-1796 has some leeway about the convenience packages for people who want Hadoop 2 support. On the extreme end, they'd have to build from source and then run a normal upgrade process. -- Sean
