Bug Description

When an older Trafodion build is installed on a CDH 5.3 cluster the error message

***ERROR: Only Cloudera Versions 5.0.* or 5.1.* are currently supported.

kind of implies that Trafodion doesn't support CHD 5.3 when its just the specific old build that is being installed that doesn't. In this particular case the user entered the wrong Trafodion build but the error message didn't help them discover that. The error message should be more detailed

***ERROR: Only Cloudera Versions 5.0.* or 5.1.* are currently supported for the Trafodion build you specified
***ERROR: Please make sure you are installing the correct version of Trafodion and/or Cloudera

Also, the display of the detected Cloudera version is a bit cryptic

Enter location of trafodion tar file (): /root/trafodion-1.0.1.tar.gz
***INFO: Detecting Hadoop distro
***INFO: Cloudera detected
***ERROR: Only Cloudera Versions 5.0.* or 5.1.* are currently supported.
***ERROR: Detected Cloudera version:

exit
***ERROR: Error while running traf_config_setup.
***ERROR: No configuration file created.

It should instead be as follows to be less cryptic:

***ERROR: Detected Cloudera version: cdh5.3.2
***DEBUG: additional info
15/05/08 15:09:18 INFO Configuration.deprecation: hadoop.native.lib is deprecated. Instead, use io.native.lib.available

exit
