Now: why do you want to use a later version of protobuf.jar? Is it because "it is there"? Or is there a tangible need?
No, it's because I'm looking at this from a platform perspective: We have other consumers of ProtoBuf beside Hadoop and we'd obviously like to minimise the versions of PB that we ship, and preferably just ship the latest version. The fact that PB seems to often be incompatible across releases is an issue as it makes upgrading and dropping older versions problematic.
