Hadoop 2x Compatability

Hi All,

I'm pretty new to Flume so forgive the newbish question, but I've been
working with Hadoop 2x for a little while.

I'm trying to configure flume (1.5.0) with a HDFS sink however the agent
won't start citing the following error:

29 Aug 2014 13:40:13,435 ERROR [conf-file-poller-0]
(org.apache.flume.node.PollingPropertiesFileConfigurationProvider$FileWatcherRunnable.run:145)
- Failed to start agent because dependencies were not found in classpath.
Error follows.

From some searching around it appears that flume is trying to reference
'hadoop-core.jar' file which has since been depreciated.

Am I missing something obvious here? Or does Flume 1.5.0 not support Hadoop
2x HDFS sinks?
