------------------------------------------------------------------
I've heard Hadoop 2.6 should have been 3.0. There has not been a Hadoop release
from trunk for years now, so they've shoehorned breaking changes into "minor"
versions. There are two practical outcomes of this:
# We upgrade Hadoop 2.x to x > whatever, but this can break the world at any
minor Hadoop bump, so we cannot promise dependency compatibility nor even
Hadoop compatibility really (remember 2.1?) :-(
# We draw the lines that Hadoop won't or can't.
Any more? If not, we choose.

> Current default Hadoop version is getting a little long in the tooth. We

> compatible with 2.5.1's dfs and mr so this should be painless.
