I need to determine what version of Hadoop is running - say under AWS - I
really want to use an API or properties in the running code but do not know
how - any ideas

I've never done this but you can try poking around with

http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.0.3/api/index.html?org/apache/hadoop/HadoopVersionAnnotation.html

Probably not the best way, but one possible way:  make a call to
Runtime.exec() and call "hadoop -version".

Sorry, make that "hadoop version".

Also, FYI, it looks like that command just calls out to methods in
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r0.20.2/api/org/apache/hadoop/util/VersionInfo.html
.  So you can probably query those directly.

Thanks - that works perfectly

The following code reports the version as a counter under "Performance"
       // sneaky trick to extract the version
        String version = VersionInfo.getVersion();
        context.getCounter("Performance",  "Version-" + version
).increment(1);
