Srikanth Sundarrajan commented on FALCON-1977:
----------------------------------------------

[~venkatnrangan], After upgrade to 2.7.x, will Falcon continue to work against a 2.6.x hadoop installation ? More specifically while we are moving the compile time dependency for Falcon, what would the runtime dependency be ?

> Falcon-unit requires Hadoop 2.7.x APIs.   This is different from the falcon main which uses 2.6.2 -  There were some discussions on keeping falcon version to 2.6.2
> As part of cleaning up hadoop-2 profile, it would be good to move falcon-unit to addons like hivedr, hdfs-snapshot-mirroring etc which require higher versions of components and enabled with a specific profile.   That way, users can build Falcon after explicitly updating the component versions.
> But given that Falcon unit (an integration test) and falcon regression both require higher version of Hadoop, it might be good to think about moving Falcon base to also default to Hadoop 2.7.1.  Will create a separate JIRA for that.
