Description

Attempting to run `storm jar` with something built on Clojure 1.8 or higher fails with this error:
"NoSuchMethodError: clojure.lang.Utils.loadWithClass".

It turns out this method was added to Clojure's `gen-class` in version 1.8 (for reasons to do with serialization that honestly I don't fully understand: https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1157).

To reproduce the error try running the storm-starter project with this lein project definition at storm/examples/storm-starter/project.clj:

(defproject clojure-gen-class-error-example "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :license {:name "Eclipse Public License"
            :url "http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html"}
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.9.0"] 
                 [org.apache.storm/storm-core "1.2.2"]]
  :source-paths ["src/clj"]
  :aot :all
  :main org.apache.storm.starter.clj.word-count)

And then run against Storm 1.2.2:

$ lein uberjar
$ storm jar target/clojure-gen-class-error-example-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

==>

	at org.apache.storm.starter.clj.word_count.<clinit>(Unknown Source)

However switching down to Clojure 1.7.0 in the project.clj (matching storm-core) makes this example work correctly. I assume upgrading the dependency in storm-core to 1.9.0 would resolve the problem. It's also a good idea because Clojure 1.7.0 is quite old now (released Jun 2015, 1.8.0 was Jan 2016 and 1.9.0 was Dec 2017).

Apologies if this upgrade is already planned, I searched the tickets here and couldn't find anything.
