Description

Preparing to release a buildable source tree for Trafodion fails as follows:

The build instructions on the web site were not correctly downloading dependent tools. To help in the process, a convenience script was created to download the correct versions into a user specified directory.

Removed some of the dependencies from the dependent tool menu - QT is not longer built, this is needed by the compiler debugging GUI. A separate JIRA will be written to get this to work.

MAVEN, PROTOBUFs are required to be installed before building Trafodion. This removes them from the Trafodion configuration file. Plus variables that point to HADOOP, HBASE, and HIVE were added to the configuration file to support standalone Apache builds.

Issues with TOOLSDIR not working correctly in setup script.

Incorrect version of Hadoop was downloaded in install_local_hadoop which caused build error - missing hdfs library.

install_local_hadoop tried to install an non-existent test package - make this optional. Also report what versions of Hadoop, HBase, Hive, and MySql were downloaded for testing.
