Description

Currently, we have an explicit dependency in Puppet recipes on a jdk package (e.g. hadoop-hdfs-datanode class). However, we might be having an environment where jdk isn't setup from a package - e.g. one can use bigtop_toolchain for that, meaning that JDK will be installed from a tarball.

In such environment, Puppet will be failing to deploy a cluster. Let's think of a better fix for this.
