I still see the issue on current master with a Centos 6 VM.
Steps to reproduce the error on the ansible client:
```
$ sudo -H pip uninstall -y ansible && sudo -H pip install ansible==2.0.0.2
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
$ echo "192.168.1.11 node1" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts >/dev/null
$ ssh-copy-id root@node1
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer git oracle-java8-set-default maven
$ . /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh
$ env |grep JAVA
$ cd && git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron.git
$ cd incubator-metron && git rev-parse HEAD
