Description

Spark Transitive depends on com.fasterxml.jackson.core :jackson-core:2.3.1. Users of jackson-module-scala had to to depend on the same version to avoid any class compatibility issues. However, since scala 2.11, jackson-module-scala is no longer published for version 2.3.1. Since the version 2.3.1 is quiet old, perhaps we should investigate upgrading to latest jackson-core.
