Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1410:
------------------------------------
> You can build against different versions of Hadoop by specifying ...
But will that still work after the proposed patch is applied? It's not clear
to me that it will.
> Explicit version specification in pom prevents dependency management

>
> While building Avro against different versions of Hadoop I found that
> avro-mapred explicitly specifies the versions of some of the Hadoop
> dependencies rather than deferring to its own dependency management. This
> makes it impossible to build against other versions of Hadoop without
> pom-hackery. It's also a potential maintenance issue for Avro in that changes
> to the dependency management section of the Java top level pom won't be
> picked up by the mapred module.
