So here is where I am after reading through this.
Replace the table with a paragraph that combines the wording from
> Accumulo has been built and tested with specific dependency versions.
Please check the release notes at https://accumulo.apache.org for the version
of Accumulo you're using, for any known compatibility issues.
and
> The versions set in the pom for Hadoop and ZooKeeper are treated as
stable releases which provide a large-breadth of compatibility across other
versions of those components. They do not guarantee compatibility with any
other versions because Hadoop and ZooKeeper do not provide any such guarantee.
and include a warning about getting the thrift version correct.
