> RpcEngine implementations have to register themselves associated with an 
> RpcKind. Both WritableRpcEngine and ProtobufRpcEngine do this registration in 
> static initialization blocks. It used to be that the static initializer block 
> for WritableRpcEngine was triggered when AvroRpcEngine was initialized, since 
> this instantiated a WritableRpcEngine object. With AvroRpcEngine gone, 
> there's nothing in the NN to trigger the WritableRpcEngine static 
> initialization block. Therefore, those RPC services which still use Writable 
> and not PB no longer work.
> For example, if I try to run `hdfs groups' on trunk, which uses the 
> GetUserMappingsProtocol, this error gets spit out:
> {noformat}
> $ hdfs groups
> log4j:ERROR Could not find value for key log4j.appender.NullAppender
> log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate appender named "NullAppender".
> Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Unknown rpc kind RPC_WRITABLE
