Thanks for clarifying Sravya. Yes, I saw that there's a build-time dependency on 2.6.0. I was wondering though if the intent was still to support older versions at runtime or if 2.6.0 is the minimum Hadoop version required at runtime as well - thereby ruling out BigTop 0.8 or lower, CDH5.3 or lower, etc? Is there a list of APIs in particular (other than Configuration.getPassword) that are required from 2.6.0?
