Description

Currently, the pom adds the Cloudera repo for maven dependencies. This is needed so that we can test against Cloudera releases of Hadoop, especially CDH4.5 which is not API compatible with Apache Hadoop. But adding the repo to the main pom means that we may get any artifact from that repo, and it also gets included in the distro.

A better way is to add a new module that performs only those tests but does not produce any artifact. The module's pom can add the Cloudera repo without "polluting" the distro.
