I try to use spark-ec2 to launch ec2 cluster with hadoop version 2.x, so I tried:
./spark-ec2 -k spark -i ~/.ssh/spark.pem -s 1 --hadoop-major-version=2 launch my-spark-cluster
then I found out there are error in the tachyon setting up process:

I've searched for some related question and it seems that Server IPC version 7 cannot communicate with client version 4 means that server is using hadoop 2.x and client is using hadoop 1.x. However, I built my spark with hadoop 2.4.0 and I also tried the official spark pre-built version with hadoop 2.4.0 and later, both lead to the same error.
By the way, hadoop version created by setting --hadoop-major-version=2 is Hadoop 2.0.0-cdh4.2.0. Is this a problem? But I tried to use 2.4 or 2.4.0 here, neither of them are recognized as valid hadoop version
