All build are built equal against Hadoop, but a specific Hadoop version is still part of the Flink lib folder when downloaded.
Cross Hadoop-version compatibility is not good, i.e., when Flink has Hadoop 2.4 in the classpath, it does not work with a 2.6 YARN installation. That is why we pre-build multiple versions.
