Quick look at [1] shows a lot of bundled libraries. We have some, but
notably we are missing zookeeper, hive, hadoop and libthrift. You'd
first have to package them and that might lead into a pretty deep rabbit
hole. I had a look at zookeeper only and it wasn't as bad as I expected
so who knows :-)
