Description

if someone would like to build against a different hadoop.version; it looks straightforward to use -Dhadoop.version=.... however this doesn't "fully" override the default value of the hadoop.version maven property.

steps to reproduce:

• change hadoop.version to some nonsence:

  sed -i "/hadoop.version.*hadoop.version/s|.*|<hadoop.version>nonexistentt</hadoop.version>|" pom.xml
  

• specify a valid hadoop.version from the commandline:

  mvn clean package -DskipTests -Dhadoop.version=2.6.1
  

i'm not sure..but from -X output i've seen:

[DEBUG] Ant property 'hadoop.version=2.6.1' clashs with an existing Maven property, SKIPPING this Ant pr
operty propagation.

the build will fail..or at least it fails for me..
