Why use out of date hadoop-core instead of replacement hadoop-common?

[thoughtmanifest]

Shouldn't hadoop-common be used in place of hadoop-core in the dependencies of the various Cascalog projects, per this stackoverflow question or is there something else keeping it from being updated/changed to use hadoop-common or even hadoop-client instead of hadoop-core.

The only thing preventing this change is a solid maintainer. If you'd be
interested I'd be happy to add you to the list!

Hi @sritchie, I would like spending my spare time maintaining cascalog, I used it in production in 2014[1], since then move on to other fields, but still related to Hadoop and clojure thing.

[1]: https://github.com/jiacai2050/hebo this is the project to schedule cascalog jobs.

@jiacai2050, I'm sure that's fine. I'm so out of the loop that I don't really understand what needs work, but if you have anything you'd like to work on I could probably help code review while you get spun up.

Thanks for thinking of Cascalog!

Thanks.
First of all, I will try upgrade hadoop/cascading version, then check existing issues/pulls. Any ideas ?

@jiacai2050 I've been out of the Cascalog game for maybe 6 years now so unfortunately I don't. Best of luck!
