If you are a maven user and faced this issue -

    
        org.apache.hadoop
        hadoop-client

        org.apache.hadoop
        hadoop-common
        ${hadoop.client.version}
    

NOTE: :hadoop-client:2.5.2 alone didn't bring in all the required hadoop dependencies. That is why I added hadoop-common, which brought all the required deps.
