Description

Chukwa uses JSON jar from json.org and also json-simple from googlecode. It would be nice if we only use one implementation of JSON to be consistent. Mindev JSON-smart was also considered as replacement for JSON simple to improve performance, but it doesn't handle some characters correctly. Therefore, it's best to use JSON Simple.
