Description

HBase depends on avro 1.5.3 whereas hadoop-common depends on 1.3.2.
When building HBase on top of hadoop, this should be consistent.
Moreover, this should be consistent between common, hdfs, and mapreduce.

Contribs seem to have declared a dependency on avro but are not in fact depending on it.
