KAFKA-5081: force version for 'jackson-annotations' in order to prevent redundant jars from being bundled into kafka distribution (and to align with other jackson libraries) **JIRA ticket:** [KAFKA-5081 two versions of jackson-annotations-xxx.jar in distribution tgz](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5081) **Solutions:** 1. accept this merge request **_OR_** 2. upgrade jackson libraries to version **_2.9.x_** (currently available as a pre-release only) **Related jackson issue:** [Add explicit \`jackson-annotations\` dependency version for \`jackson-databind\`](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/1545) **Note:** previous (equivalent) merge request #2900 ended up deep in the sand with swarm of messages due to flaky test, so I opted to close it and to open this one. @ijuma: FYI You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/dejan2609/kafka KAFKA-5081 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/3116.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #3116 ---- commit ab682e756af29cf84dcc01e63ddcb9c150786bec Author: dejan2609 <dejan2...@gmail.com> Date: 2017-04-24T12:35:56Z KAFKA-5081: force version for 'jackson-annotations' in order to prevent redundant jars from being bundled into kafka distribution (and to align with other jackson libraries) ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
