Long story short, geoip2 lib behaves badly and one of its dependencies pulls in an open ended range of jackson-databind which is breaking our build as it tries to pull in 2.9.0-SNAPSHOT. See: https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-java/issues/77
As noted in that thread, the easy solution is to just <exclude> jackson and pull in ours. The catch is that geoip2 specifies a slightly higher version of jackson than we globally use (2.8.x instead of 2.7.x). Adding the exclusion does allow for compiling, but I haven't tested anything. I'd like to get thoughts on our preferred way to fix this. E.g. add the exclusion alone and test? Bump the jackson version in enrichments specifically and test? bump the whole version and test? Ticket to track https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-734 Thanks, Justin
