Description

the Proxy setup code in HadoopProxy only works in clusters with namenodes, which works for Hadoop itself; services like Hama squeeze by.

Clusters without a NameNode can't, and are reduced to copy-and-paste work.

A good solution would be for core to have a proxy setup class; HadoopProxy would be just a NN-specific subclass
