   Sorry, I've got confused and am now confusing everyone else; been looking at 
the build and here is my understanding now
   
   1. Avro builds against hadoop 3.3.3 since #1697
   2. and it uses java 8 everywhere.
   2. but it also has a branch-2 profile for "tests to validate backwards 
compatibility with Hadoop 2", and it is that which is keeping things from using 
the hadoop 3.x apis
   
   I think that it is time to turn off the hadoop 2 support. Because if avro 
builds are java8+ anyway, they aren't that likely to run on those hadoop 2.x 
clusters still in production. 
   
   I know this as whenever I have to produce something to work on any cluster 
of that era -I have to use a jdk7 JDK to make the release. Do that and I will 
provide the shim library to get at the maximum performance IO operations 
available against HDFS and cloud storage, when present.
