com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Jackson version is too old 2.5.3

Question

My OS is OS X 10.11.6. I'm running Spark 2.0, Zeppelin 0.6, Scala 2.11

When I run this code in Zeppelin I get an exception from Jackson. When I run this code in spark-shell - no exception.

val filestream = ssc.textFileStream("/Users/davidlaxer/first-edition/ch06")

The dependency-reduced-pom.xml in spark-core shows version 2.6.5

<dependency>
      <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
      <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
      <version>2.6.5</version>

    </dependency>

The version of Maven is:

Zeppelin was built with the following parameters:

$ mvn clean package -Pspark-2.0 -Phadoop-2.4 -Pyarn -Ppyspark -Psparkr -Pscala-2.11 -DskipTests

Generating the dependency tree in Zeppelin and in Spark showed all the jackson-databind references as 2.6.5.

$ mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose 
shows [INFO] +- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:jar:2.6.5:compile

I tried deleting ~/.m2/repository/com/fasterxml and rebuilding Spark and Zeppelin.

Here's my $PATH:

Any ideas why I'm picking up version 2.5.3?

Answer 1

Replacing the jackson jars (2.5.x version) in './zeppelin-zengine/target/lib/' and './zeppelin-server/target/lib/' with the following version will solve the problem.

jackson-databind-2.6.5.jar jackson-core-2.6.5.jar jackson-annotations-2.6.5.jar

Ok. I'll try it. Meanwhile I reverted to Spark 1.6 and Zeppelin 0.56. I'm getting: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Could not find creator property with name 'id' (in class org.apache.spark.rdd.RDDOperationScope) at [Source: {"id":"0","name":"text file stream"}; line: 1, column: 1] Is this the same problem? – Ensign

What causes mvn to install the older jars? – Ensign

After replacing the .jar files in both directories, rerun the mvn command? E.g. mvn clean package -Pspark-1.6 -Phadoop-2.6 -DskipTests -Dhadoop.version=2.6.4 – Ensign

running mvn without clean reinstalls the outdated jackson jars. – Ensign

restarting the zeppelin-daemon.sh with the new jars get: java.lang.VerifyError: class com.fasterxml.jackson.module.scala.ser.ScalaIteratorSerializer overrides final method withResolved.(Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/BeanProperty;Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/jsontype/TypeSerializer;Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/JsonSerializer;)Lcom/fasterxml/jackson/databind/ser/std/AsArraySerializerBase; at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) – Ensign

Answer 2

you can use $SPARK_HOME/jars/ jackson-databind-2.6.5.jar jackson-core-2.6.5.jar jackson-annotations-2.6.5.jar to replace old version jars ofr $ZEPPELIN_HOME/lib
