-1 for backwards compatibility issues described.
-1

Corey, I'm really sorry for the churn. I thought I ran both forward and
backward compatibility modes last time (-old 1.6.1 -new 1.6.2 as well as
-old 1.6.2 -new 1.6.1), but I must have just eyeballed the output of the
1.6.1 -> 1.6.2 report for problems with forward compatibility.

I ran things again this time (as a formality) and the 1.6.2 -> 1.6.1 check
turned up 2 issues.

1) minicluster.ServerType added enum members

Specifically TRACER and MONITOR. This changes the public API because
ServerType is in it, and a client built against 1.6.2 could refer to these
enum values and then get a NoSuchFieldError if they try to go back to
1.6.1. This only shows up as a low severity "other" issue in the 1.6.1 ->
1.6.2 check, which is probably why I didn't see it.

2) core.client.mapreduce.AbstractInputFormat.getConfiguration(JobContext)
changed from package-private to public

This causes the method to show up as a new part of the public API. This
issue only shows up in the 1.6.2 -> 1.6.1 check below.


Here are the specific report outputs for others to look:

* 1.6.0 -> 1.6.2 (added things are fine, because the change might be from
1.6.0 -> 1.6.1)
http://people.apache.org/~busbey/compat_reports/accumulo/1.6.0_to_1.6.2/compat_report.html
* 1.6.1 -> 1.6.2 (nothing should be added, but it's easier to just pay
attention to the next one)
http://people.apache.org/~busbey/compat_reports/accumulo/1.6.1_to_1.6.2/compat_report.html
* 1.6.2 -> 1.6.1 (under a semver patch increment, this should be just as
strong an assertion as the reverse)
