    Please can you file a separate JIRA for these two changes, link to HADOOP-9991 and include justification. Version updates are a traumatic issue in Hadoop and done fairly reluctantly.
    
    FWIW, updating netty-all from beta to final makes sense just from a release perspective; updating the other jetty less so

> If you try using Hadoop downstream with a classpath shared with HBase and Accumulo, you soon discover how messy the dependencies are.
> Hadoop's side of this problem is
> # not being up to date with some of the external releases of common JARs
> # not locking down/excluding inconsistent versions of artifacts provided down the dependency graph
