    @srowen There's a mention [here](http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/01/10/3) that the YARN NodeManager and CredentialProvider classes present a risk (we bundle and provide the latter, org.apache.hadoop.security.alias.CredentialProvider). I see no direct uses in the Spark code; but I think somebody could use the CredentialProvider we bundle and be impacted.
    
    Bumping up to Hadoop 2.6.5 now would shield us from more potentially relevant CVEs that keep popping up (and save us time investigating) that are only impacting classes in 2.6.4 Hadoop and below.
