Well, the version I'm using is from February 2012 so released after
your HDFS support announcement :-)
Hence why I was thinking about a secret compile command or so, rather
than a version issue.
But I'll investigate on Hadoop side, maybe this method was causing
issues and has been removed recently
Thanks

Alexis
