The gate-manila-tempest-dsvm-hdfs jenkins job has been failing for a 
long time now. It appears to be a config issue that's probably not hard 
to fix, but nobody is actively maintaining this code.

Since it's a waste of resources to continue running this broken job, I 
plan to disable it, and if nobody wants to volunteer to get it working 
again, we will need to take the HDFS driver out of the tree in Mitaka, 
since we can't ensure its quality without the CI job.

I really don't like removing drivers, especially fully open-source 
drivers, but we have too many other priorities this release to be 
distracted by fixing this kind of thing. If this driver is something 
people actively use and find valuable, then it should not be hard to 
find a volunteer to fix it.
