Description

From REEF-216:

Google recently switched off Google Code. They transferred the
Protocol Buffers project to
GitHub, and binaries are
available from [Google's developer
page|https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/downloads].
However, only the most recent version is available. We use version 2.5
to be compatible with Hadoop. That version isn't available for
download.

Our BUILDING.txt has same issue.
