no, just building downstream things.

Given the size of the change, I'm now convincedt that yes, the hadoop-client split should have been in a branch. What it offers there is the ability to choose when to merge in. As it is, any Hadoop 2.8 release will have this feature. It's going to be visible, and that's going to add more testing. We should expect this to cause things to surface in the release process. We also need to consider what's going to be the policy if 2.8.0 turns out to break something: what are we prepared to roll back?
