Description

When compiled with higher-version Hive (e.g. 1.2.1x), Falcon generates different versions of jackson-core and jackson-databind:

[root@os-r7-wbucju-falcon-2-4 2.5.0.0-562]# ls falcon/server/webapp/falcon/WEB-INF/lib/jack*
falcon/server/webapp/falcon/WEB-INF/lib/jackson-annotations-2.4.0.jar falcon/server/webapp/falcon/WEB-INF/lib/jackson-databind-2.4.2.jar
falcon/server/webapp/falcon/WEB-INF/lib/jackson-core-2.2.3.jar falcon/server/webapp/falcon/WEB-INF/lib/jackson-datatype-json-org-2.2.3.jar
falcon/server/webapp/falcon/WEB-INF/lib/jackson-core-asl-1.9.2.jar falcon/server/webapp/falcon/WEB-INF/lib/jackson-mapper-asl-1.9.2.jar

This is because Falcon has a dependency on Hive that uses a higher version (i.e. 2.4.2) of jackson-databind while Falcon pom declares an older version. It results in errors when calling metadata rest api (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:15000/api/metadata/lineage/edges/all). See error details below.

To fix the dependency issue, we propose to upgrade jackson version to 2.x in pom configuration, i.e. use fasterxml instead of codehaus.
