Nick Williams commented on AVRO-1126:
-------------------------------------
The current version of Jackson is 2.2.2. There have been _many_ improvements,
enhancements, and fixes since 1.8.8 that are not available in the 1.9 line,
either. For example, 2.2.2 contains support for the JSR-310 Java 8 Date & Time
API, which is not and will never be supported by 1.9. I think it is _very_
important that this upgrade happen in Avro 1.8.0.
Furthermore, I'm concerned that we leak a couple of Jackson types in our API. I
think we should take this opportunity to address and correct that problem,
since this will be an API-breaking change anyway.

> Issue Type: Task
> Components: java
> Reporter: James Tyrrell
> Priority: Critical
>
> Quite annoyingly with Jackson 2+ the base package name has changed from
> org.codehaus.jackson to com.fasterxml.jackson so in addition to changing the
> dependencies from:
> {code:xml}
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> {code}
> to:
> {code:xml}
> <dependency>
> <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
> <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
> <version>${jackson.version}</version>
> </dependency>
> {code}
> the base package in the code needs to be updated. More info can be found
> [here|http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonUpgradeFrom19To20], I am happy to do
> the work just let me know what is preferable i.e. should I just attach a
> patch to this issue?
