Hi,At Apache Bigtop we are running into trouble because of the old commons-io version 2.1 library which is in use by flume (even git trunk).
Since we use Hadoop 2.7.2 there is a conflict between flume and hadoop's version of commons-io which can be reproduced by running the unittests.
See Jira issues FLUME-2662 ( and BIGTOP-2534) . Please apply the patch appended to FLUME-2662 Thanks, Olaf
