Spark2.1.0 incompatible Jackson versions 2.7.6 - scala

Question

I am trying to run a simple spark example in intellij, but I get the error like that:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at org.apache.spark.SparkContext.withScope(SparkContext.scala:701)
at org.apache.spark.SparkContext.textFile(SparkContext.scala:819)

I have try to update my Jackson dependency, but it seems not work, I do this:
libraryDependencies += "com.fasterxml.jackson.core" % "jackson-core" % "2.8.7"
libraryDependencies += "com.fasterxml.jackson.core" % "jackson-databind" % "2.8.7"
but it still appear the same error messages, can some one help me to fix the error?
Here is spark example code:
object test {
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
if (args.length < 1) {
System.err.println("Usage: <file>")
System.exit(1)
}
val conf = new SparkConf()
val sc = new SparkContext("local","wordcount",conf)
val line = sc.textFile(args(0))
line.flatMap(_.split(" ")).map((_, 1)).reduceByKey(_+_).collect().foreach(println)
sc.stop()
}
}
And here is my built.sbt:
name := "testSpark2"
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.11.8"
libraryDependencies += "com.fasterxml.jackson.core" % "jackson-core" % "2.8.7"
libraryDependencies += "com.fasterxml.jackson.core" % "jackson-databind" % "2.8.7"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-core_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-mllib_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-repl_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-streaming-flume_2.10" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-sql_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-network-shuffle_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-streaming-kafka-0-10_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-hive_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-streaming-flume-assembly_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-mesos_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-graphx_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-catalyst_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-launcher_2.11" % "2.1.0"

Spark 2.1.0 contains com.fasterxml.jackson.core as transitive dependency. So, we do not need to include then in libraryDependencies.
But if you want to add a different com.fasterxml.jackson.core dependencies' version then you have to override them. Like this:
name := "testSpark2"
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.11.8"
dependencyOverrides += "com.fasterxml.jackson.core" % "jackson-core" % "2.8.7"
dependencyOverrides += "com.fasterxml.jackson.core" % "jackson-databind" % "2.8.7"
dependencyOverrides += "com.fasterxml.jackson.module" % "jackson-module-scala_2.11" % "2.8.7"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-core_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-mllib_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-repl_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-streaming-flume_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-sql_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-network-shuffle_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-streaming-kafka-0-10_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-hive_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-streaming-flume-assembly_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-mesos_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-graphx_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-catalyst_2.11" % "2.1.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" % "spark-launcher_2.11" % "2.1.0"
So, change your build.sbt like the one above and it will work as expected.
I hope it helps!

Answer 2

FYI. For my case, I'm using spark and kafka-streams in the app, while kafka-streams uses com.fasterxml.jackson.core 2.8.5. Adding exclude as below fixed the issue
(gradle)
compile (group: "org.apache.kafka", name: "kafka-streams", version: "0.11.0.0"){
exclude group:"com.fasterxml.jackson.core"
}

Solution with Gradle, by using the resolutionStrategy (https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.ResolutionStrategy.html):
configurations {
all {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.4.4', 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.4.4', 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.4.4'
}
}
}
