Description

Slider codebase uses jackson version 1.9.13, except that one file ends up using the 2.2.x fasterxml version -

slider-core/src/main/java/org/apache/slider/providers/agent/application/metadata/Application.java

This causes a lot of inconsistencies in json ser/der. We should remove this.

Note: nevertheless slider also imports cohadale metrics which has dependencies on jackson 2.2.x version. So ideal would be to move slider itself to 2.2.x version completely.
