+1 on changing the JSON serializer. Hadoop was an early adopter for Jersey, but proper JSON deserializer for Jackson didn’t appear until mid 2016 after Jackson 2.5 release. Hence, some early versions of Hadoop REST API were not JSON compliant. Hadoop kind of comply to schematic versioning, therefore, it will be best to make this change in 3.0 release. This will reduce some baggage carried forward from Hadoop 2.x. I think community will respond positively toward this change. Thank you for bringing this up.

Presuming these are under a new API version number, it's not clear to me from the existing guidelines if adding one is okay in a maintenance release. It sounds surprising to me.
