Description

We found that the Hadoop Shims were not working as expected when attempting the Gora dependency upgrade over on Nutch 2.X.
The relevant upgrade issue is NUTCH-1946
The relevant discussion thread is here.
We had a true dependent reliance upon hadoop-client v 2.5.2 within gora-core which is not correct. The reliance should be optional meaning that shims work with the true expectation that we can switch between Hadoop 1 and 2.
