I know that the number of guava updates we could call painless is 0, but we
need to do this.

The last time we successfully updated Guava was 2012: h
ttps://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3187
That was the java 6 era

The last unsuccessful attempt, April 2017:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14386

Let's try again and this time if there are problems say: sorry, but its
time to move on.

I think we should only worry about branch-3.2+ for now, though the other
branches could be lined up for those changes needed to ensure that
everything builds if you explicitly set the version (e.g findbugs changes.
Then we can worry about 3.1.x line, which is the 3.x branch most widely
picked up to date.

I want to avoid branch-2 entirely, though as Gabor notes, I want to move us
on to java 8 builds there so that people can do a branch-2 build if they
need to.

*Is everyone happy with the proposed patch*:
