Description

Cassandra is currently using Jackson 1.4.0. It would be nice to upgrade to Jackson 2, which is a smaller, lighter, and more modular library. I'm using Play Framework and SBT, which complain vociferously about Jackson 1 not having its javadoc jars in the Maven repository. Upgrading to Jackson 2 would fix this annoyance.

Files using Jackson are:
src/java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/FBUtilities.java
src/java/org/apache/cassandra/tools/SSTableExport.java
src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/compaction/LeveledManifest.java

Info on Jackson 2 is available on Github and the wiki:
