Maven has a way of centralizing the definition of version numbers for dependencies into the parent pom. The version of hadoop is inherited from dependencyManagement section of the parent pom (maven/pom.xml). It saves the cost of definition and maintenance of the version in all of the child projects, at the cost of making it less clear when looking at the child pom itself. Drew
