Hadoop 2.7 is now switching to apache-commons-io v2.4. Hbase 1.0 is also using 
commons-io v2.4.
Flume is currently at 2.1.
Flume runs into issues like this when tests run against them:

testSequenceFile(org.apache.flume.sink.hdfs.TestUseRawLocalFileSystem)  Time 
elapsed: 77 sec  <<< ERROR!
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/io/Charsets

I am planning to submit a patch to upgrade commons-io to 2.4.  Just wanted to 
be cautious and check if we have witnessed has been any issue in the past when 
upgrading apache commons libraries.
