SPARK-1078: Replace lift-json with json4s-jackson. The aim of the Json4s project is to provide a common API for Scala JSON libraries. It is Apache-licensed, easier for downstream distributions to package, and mostly API-compatible with lift-json. Furthermore, the Jackson-backed implementation parses faster than lift-json on all but the smallest inputs.
