Hemanth Yamijala commented on HADOOP-6800:
------------------------------------------

Tom, trying to see if I can review this, but I'm not very familiar with Ivy... 
Is the goal of this jira to make sure that the versions for libraries we are 
using  in the 3 projects are the same ? I ask because there are a few libraries 
with different versions in the common and mapreduce projects. For e.g. 
commons-logging is 1.1.1 in common and 1.0.4 in mapred, and jets3t is 0.7.1 in 
common and 0.6.1 in mapred. These don't seem to be excluded / modified in your 
patch.

Would these need to be fixed too ?

Apologies if my understanding is completely wrong...

> Currently, multiple versions of the same library JAR are being pulled in for 
> various reasons.
> * Within the same project, multiple versions of the same JAR are pulled in. 
> E.g. Avro (used by Common) depends on Commons Lang 2.5 while Common depends 
> on Commons Lang 2.4.
> * Dependent subprojects use different versions. E.g. Common depends on Avro 
> 1.3.2 while MapReduce depends on 1.3.0. Since MapReduce depends on Common, 
> this has the potential to cause a problem at runtime.
