https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/2765
ran a full clean build w/contrib check prior to the fix for moving
ObjectMapper creation inside the validator creation. If that all checks out
via Travis-CI then I am a +1.
The L&N is now fine since Jackson is already properly accounted for in the
three impacted Nars so no further L&N changes are needed.
@MikeThomsen and @zenfenan please be very careful in all changes such
that anytime a dependency is added, removed, updated in terms of version that
all impacted Nars and all assocated L&N impacts are considered. In the
previous approach every single Nar that uses nifi-utils for StandardValidators
would require the update and not only the L&N impact but also the size impact
of having jackson libs in each but also the dependency heft of it in general.
We must be super dilligent on handling L&N so in general if you're altering
dependencies or reviewing PRs that alter dependencies keep in mind we must
account for every dependency be they direct or transitive in the appropriate
L&N. It is a lot of work.
Thanks
