Description

I've had a look at our connectors and our shading practices very inconsistent. Connectors either:

1. don't shade anything at all
2. shade dependencies that are prone to causing conflicts (like guava)
3. shade everything

Examples:

1. nifi, hbase, jdbc, orc, ES6, rabbitmq, Kafka
2. Cassandra, Kinesis
3. ES1,2,5, twitter
