Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-1643:
---------------------------------------------
Generally, if dependencies were good at being backwards-compatible, it would be
best to compile against the earliest supported version. However, there's a few
reasons why we'd want to not do this:
# We don't want to encourage the use of older versions if users have an option.
# We want MiniAccumuloCluster to run against a stable version for our build
tests.
Recognizing that the Maven dependency is not where we *establish* the range of
compatibility (we do that in documentation, informed by testing and knowledge
of incompatibilities), I see no reason not to update them, especially if it
doesn't change the range of supported versions.
> Make default Hadoop dependency 1.2.1 (stable)
