Description

A few of our dependencies need upgrading. In particular, I have been hit by a bug in Jackson that is fixed by the latest release (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JACKSON-462).

Summary: I will submit a patch that updates everything to the next bugfix or very minor release, other than paranamer, thrift, and hadoop.

Details:
(using maven versions plugin)

On the dependency side:
[INFO] com.thoughtworks.paranamer:paranamer ................ 2.3 -> 2.4-debug
could not find info about what is new in 2.4. I do not think we should upgrade until we have more info
[INFO] net.sf.jopt-simple:jopt-simple ............................ 4.1 -> 4.3
minor extra features (http://pholser.github.com/jopt-simple/changes.html)
[INFO] org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-core .................... 0.20.205.0 -> 1.0.0
renamed 0.20.205, no need to update yet.
[INFO] org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-mapper-asl ............... 1.8.6 -> 1.9.3
I suggest we upgrade to 1.8.7.
[INFO] org.jboss.netty:netty ..................... 3.2.6.Final -> 3.2.7.Final
bugfix release
[INFO] org.apache.thrift:libthrift ........................... 0.7.0 -> 0.8.0
Is this a minor / bugfix release? If so we should update, otherwise wait until Avro 1.7.x

[INFO] org.slf4j:slf4j-simple ................................ 1.6.3 -> 1.6.4
