Does libhdfs really need to depend on AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T,
AC_TYPE_INT64_T and AC_TYPE_UINT16_T ?

Key: HDFS-1619
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1619
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik
Assignee: Konstantin Shvachko
Currently configure.ac uses AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, AC_TYPE_INT64_T
and AC_TYPE_UINT16_T and thus requires autoconf 2.61 or higher.
This prevents using it on such platforms as CentOS/RHEL 5.4 and 5.5. Given that
those are pretty popular and also given that it is really difficult to find a
platform
these days that doesn't natively define intXX_t types I'm curious as to
whether we can simply remove those macros or perhaps fail ONLY if we happen to
be on such
a platform.
