Github user paul-rogers commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1011 @arina-ielchiieva, turned out that there were unneeded dependencies in the DoY additions to the drill-root pom.xml file. Removed these and the json.org warnings went away. Please take a look at the new commits. If all looks good, I'll squash commits to prepare for merging into master.
