Description

Trafodion build process picks up libhdfs / libhadoop dependencies either from local_hadoop test set-up or by building them from source code.

Building them from source more than doubles trafodion build time.

Previously the the hadoop-common binary distro did not contain native 64-bit shared libraries. Now that it does, we can take advantage of that and not build from source code.
