Avro 17 is compiled against Hadoop 1 i.e. CDH3. I have it running aginst CDH4 but I had to patch and recompile Avro, then replace the Avro 153 in the Hadoop lib directory with 17. I have attached my patch against JIRA AVRO-1103 for consideration.

I have also set: mapreduce.task.classpath.first=true (in mapred-site.xml) to ensure the 1.7.0 jars from the lib dir in my.jar are used first (before avro-1.5.4). But I still get the same error. Any ideas? Alan -- View this message in context: http://apache-avro.679487.n3.nabble.com/avro-1-7-0-with-CDH4-tp4025149p4025150.html Sent from the Avro - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
