While you're at it you could also upgrade Jackson. Currently the build file
references org.codehaus.jackson which is old. The upgrade may require some code
changes (the API differs in a few places), all trivial through.

Where is the Jackson dependency specified?
find . -name *.sbt | xargs grep jackson
returns nothing, and in project/Build.scala it is only used in relation to the
hadoop settings. We could upgrade to the latest 1.x but not 2.x, because other
hadoop dependencies use it (like the also ancient avro 1.4).
What is the status of the contrib hadoop stuff?
Matt's patch already upgrades everything, if we want to upgrade only the core
Kafka dependencies, we can trim it down to those simpler, safer updates.
(As an SBT newbie) --
It appears that project/Build.scala is completely unnecessary, and could be
significantly simplified if moved to core/build.sbt. Most of the content of
Build.scala seems to be cruft or have simpler features available to do the same
thing.

> Many of the dependencies that Kafka 0.8 uses are old. It would be a good
