Huge image size

[gsakkis]

I'm including hdfs3 in a Docker image and the resulting size is huge:

$ docker run -it --rm hdfs3 du -sh /opt/conda
798M	/opt/conda

Removing /opt/conda/pkgs/* and all the __pycache__ directories reduces it to 500M but it's still quite large. I realize this has mostly to do with the an underlying libhdfs library but I'm wondering if you know of other directories or files that can be safely deleted (e.g include/boost/*, libicudata*, etc).

Sample Dockerfile:

FROM continuumio/miniconda3:4.3.27p0
RUN conda install --channel=conda-forge hdfs3
RUN rm -rf /opt/conda/pkgs/* && find /opt/conda -name __pycache__ -exec rm -fr {} +

That sounds reasonable. Would you like to make a PR?
The same could also be done for mdurant/hadoop's image https://github.com/martindurant/docker_images/blob/master/hadoop/Dockerfile , which I often use for testing too.

Note that the conda clean command may achieve the same thing, I am not sure.

FWIW I now end conda install lines in Dockerfiles with `conda clean -tipsy`
