@pwendell In this case, it looks like the thrift versions are there to
avoid compatibility problems with HBase:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1974
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1975
So there's a theoretical problem with someone using a Flume DStream and
HBase 0.92 client in the same app, but I think that should be out of scope to
care about.
I will ask flume folk internally to comment if they have a moment.
