Description

(COMMENT: This bug still affects 0.20.205.0, four months after the bug was filed. This causes total failure, and the fix is trivial for whoever manages the POM – just add the missing dependency! --ben)

This issue was identified and the fix & workaround was documented at

https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/DISTRO-44

The issue affects use of Hadoop 0.20.203.0 from the Maven central repo. I built a job using that maven repo and ran it, resulting in this failure:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/jackson/map/JsonMappingException
