Description

In NIFI-2991 we did the bulk of the work to eliminate Cat-X usage of the json.org library.

In a thread on 23 Nov 2016 VP Legal of the ASF approved pre-existing usage of the json.org library provided sufficient NOTICE of usage existed (we have that) until April 2017.

We must ensure twitter4j changes their usage of this by then or we must find an alternative or we must remove this processor/nar again.

Will place this on the 1.2 release but it might be later than that. Ultimately this must be done by April.

Please do NOT remove the fix version. We must ensure we don't lose track of this issue.
