Spark 1.2.2 build problem with Hive 0.12, bringing in wrong version of avro-mapred

[java8964 <ja...@hotmail.com>]

Hi, This email is sent to both dev and user list, just want to see if someone familiar with Spark/Maven build procedure can provide any help.
I am building Spark 1.2.2 with the following command:
mvn -Phadoop-2.2 -Dhadoop.version=2.2.0 -Phive -Phive-0.12.0
The spark-assembly-1.2.2-hadoop2.2.0.jar contains the avro and avro-ipc of version 1.7.6, but avro-mapred of version 1.7.1, which caused some wired runtime exception when I tried to read the avro file in the Spark 1.2.2, as following:
NullPointerException	at java.io.StringReader.<init>(StringReader.java:50)	at org.apache.avro.Schema$Parser.parse(Schema.java:943)	at org.apache.avro.Schema.parse(Schema.java:992)	at org.apache.avro.mapred.AvroJob.getInputSchema(AvroJob.java:65)	at org.apache.avro.mapred.AvroRecordReader.<init>(AvroRecordReader.java:43)	at org.apache.avro.mapred.AvroInputFormat.getRecordReader(AvroInputFormat.java:52)	at org.apache.spark.rdd.HadoopRDD$$anon$1.<init>(HadoopRDD.scala:233)	at org.apache.spark.rdd.HadoopRDD.compute(HadoopRDD.scala:210)
So I run the following command to understand that avro-mapred 1.7.1 is brought in by Hive 0.12 profile:
mvn -Phadoop-2.2 -Dhadoop.version=2.2.0 -Phive -Phive-0.12.0 dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=org.apache.avro

In this case, I could manually fix all the classes in the final jar, changing from avro-mapred 1.7.1 to 1.7.6, but I wonder if there is any other solution, as this way is very error-prone.
Also, just from the above message, I can see avro-mapred.jar.hadoop2:1.7.6 dependency is there, but looks like it is being omitted. Not sure why Maven choosed the lower version, as I am not a Maven guru.
My question, under the above situation, do I have a easy way to build it with avro-mapred 1.7.6, instead of 1.7.1?
Thanks
