> HADOOP-6184 added the ability to serialize the Configuration to JSON.  However its inclusion of jackson-1.0.1 means that any map-reduce task that depends (directly or indirectly) on Jackson, can only use Jackson 1.0.1 APIs.  The 100% fix is to give the task's classpath priority over the core/common classpath (MAPREDUCE-1700/MAPREDUCE-1938) so that a job can use newer revisions of the library.
> For a nearer term fix, is it possible to upgrade the included Jackson library to a recent version (1.5.x+)?  The APIs are backwards compatible.  alernatively, its possible to eliminate the use of Jackson for this minor feature as the Configuration object could be serialized to JSON without a 3rd party library.
> An ancilliary issue is that the jackson.version referenced in ivy.xml is never specified in the source tree (ivy/libraries.properties).
