Description

HDFS-6200 has refactor the HDFS client implementations into the hadoop-hdfs-client module. However, the client module still depends on hadoop-common which contains both the implementation of hadoop server and clients.

This jira proposes to separate client-side implementation of hadoop-common to a new module hadoop-common-client so that both the yarn and the hdfs client no longer need to transitively bring in dependency in the server side.

Per feedbacks from steve_l and cmccabe, the development will happen in a separate branch.
