Hi, I recently started experimenting with Spark Streaming for ingesting and enriching content from a Kafka stream. Being new to Spark I expected a bit of a learning curve, but not with something as simple a using JSON data!
I have a JAR with common classes used across a number of Java projects which I would also like to use in my Spark projects, but it uses a version of Jackson which is newer than the one packaged with Spark - I can't (and won't) downgrade to the older version in Spark. Any suggestions on how to solve this? I have looked at using the shade plugin to rename my version of Jackson, but that would require me to change my common code which I would like to avoid. -- Kind regards Martin
