Description of problem: With the latest changes to netty package - upgrade from version 3 to 4 in Rawhide, hadoop package doesn't build and needs to be adjusted to use the version 4. If you encounter issues with upgrading the package to use netty version 4 or you think it does involve too much effort - please let me know and we'll think about a netty 3 compat package.
I was looking at a patch, but it seems it's a lot of effort to make it happen. I'll introduce a netty3 compat package for Rawhide.
What version of netty 3.x will you make the netty3 compat package? The version in F20 (3.6) would be ideal.
Yes, the latest version available in F20 will be used.
The netty3 compat package is now available in Rawhide.
Fixed in hadoop-2.2.0-4
