Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-13363:
-----------------------------------------

wire-level backward compatibility is a core feature of protobuf, I'm not 
worried there. What I am worried about is compile-compat, as that is what broke 
hadoop, hbase, etc, everything using protobuf 2.4. Google's internal build 
process is a clean, unified build of everything, so they don't have to worry 
about source level compatibliity

> Upgrade protobuf from 2.5.0 to something newer

> Standard protobuf 2.5.0 does not work properly on many platforms.  (See, for 
> example, https://gist.github.com/BennettSmith/7111094 ).  In order for us to 
> avoid crazy work arounds in the build environment and the fact that 2.5.0 is 
> starting to slowly disappear as a standard install-able package for even 
> Linux/x86, we need to either upgrade or self bundle or something else.
