Ah. The dangers of installing things from the Internet!!! The cloudera package for hadoop is great. I use it, but I DO NOT download it from the internet every time! Why? Because of the exact problem you are having, packages get updated and finding the older one can be hard. Always keep a copy of your RPMs locally! (and run your own yum repo) You used to be able to navigate around the clouder repo and find the older RPM inside the same folder. You still probably can hunt around and you should be able to find it. http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh/3/ Good luck!
