Since in the Hadoop ecosystem the projects don't shade Protobufs nor Thrift
versions trying to work with every single combination with the versions is a
hassle to say the least. This is one of the things that Bigtop solves by
defining static versions that work together. I am not giving an answer but just
additional feedback of the complexity of trying to provide a tool that will
work with _all_ versions of the projects in the Hadoop ecosystem.
