Hadoop, for better or worse, depends on an ancient version of Jetty (6), that is even on a different package. So Spark (or anyone trying to use a newer Jetty) is lucky on that front...
IIRC Hadoop is planning to move to Java 7-only starting with 2.7. Java 7 is also supposed to be EOL some time next year, so a plan to move to Java 7 and, eventually, Java 8 would be nice.
