HttpClient 3.1 safe as replacement for 3.0.1?

[Ken Krugler <kk...@transpac.com>]

Hi all,

Hadoop 0.20.2 still depends on HttpClient 3.0.1 - I know, seems like  
something to be fixed.

A project I'm working with is using HttpClient 3.1 as well as Hadoop,  
which means I have to use HttpClient 3.1 as well.

So - any input on whether HttpClient 3.1 is really a drop-in  
replacement for HttpClient 3.0.1?

I haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe otherwise, but I  
also haven't found anybody using HC 3.1 with Hadoop in a large-scale  
cluster.

Thanks,

-- Ken

The 3.x branch has not been touched for years. 3.0.1 and 3.1 _should_ be
compatible but in those years we used to be much less picky about
binary / API compatibility.

Upgrading to 4.1 would be much preferred.
