Description

This is issue is motivated by discussion in ACCUMULO-4701. For 2.0.0 we should attempt to use the latest version of any direct dependencies. Not doing so may force user to use older versions of dependencies with bugs and security problems.

ACCUMULO-4701 provides an example of this where Accumulo using methods that exist in an older version of Guava but are dropped in a new version prevent a user from using newer Guava.
