The recently enabled depandabot has opened a few PRs, that we should handle
somehow.

Some of those PRs, like the Hadoop versions changes are obviously
non-starters, as they would break the project, or at the very least
our test infra.

However, some of them are relevant, and risk-free.

Our current policy is that every commit should have a corresponding JIRA,
obviously the github bot doesn' create JIRAs.

We could
- Ignore the Github PR, and just open a separate JIRA with a patch for the
update
- Open a JIRA, clone the GitHub PR, and change the description to include
the JIRA
- Something else, like modifying the dependabot PR directly to add the JIRA
(not sure how/if that would work).
- Skip the JIRA, and just directly commit the dependabot PR (would cause
problems with the Release notes, and our pre-release checklists)

I have opened OMID-211 according to the 2nd option here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OMID-221

What do you think ?
