Release Note

The jdks in ubuntu trusty (14.04), our Docker os, don't work. HDFS hangs on trusty's openjdk-7 151 which makes for a bunch of hbase tests that just hang/timeout. See HBASE-19204. This patch adds azul jdks to our Docker env because they are available, and later versions of openjdk (openjdk-7 161)., a version that does not seem to hang HDFS.

This change adds the azul repo and then install its jdks and rename the azul jvms as though they were from openjdk (otherwise yetus won't set JAVA_HOME; it does find /usr/lib/jvm/ -name java-* -type d so a symlink to the zulu jvms won't work).

Description

HDFS mini cluster hangs when it runs on openjdk 151. See parent issue where chia7712 turns up the hang and then Xiao Chen confirms up in the parent issue in a comment. Lets do what Xiao Chen suggests which comes from a Todd approach over in kudu where we install newer versions of the jdk so we by-pass the hdfs hangs.
