Description

Currently jackson is used as part of our internal API to JSONUtils.  The problem here is when we shade and relocate jackson.  Suddenly we can't use JSONUtils.  We should avoid operating on jackson primitives and rather provide a convenient wrapper around the places where we use jackson as part of the API.
