Description

TaskAttemptContext and JobContext which were a class in previous hadoop versions are now interfaces.
Compiling gora with new hadoop version 2 fails.
BinaryDecoder and BinaryEncoder in Avro 1.5.4 are also now interfaces which were previously class.
avro.ipc.ByteBufferOutputStream and avro.ipc.ByteBufferInputStream are also moved to avro.util package.
There might be much more incompatibilities there which we have not seen yet.
We gave up upgrading our nutchgora to the new hadoop 2 version.
