Nifi 1.14 PutHDFS Issue

[#1]

Hi, We have recently upgraded Nifi to 1.14 and are now receiving this error when trying to write to HDFS.

"Failed to write to HDFS due to java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonIncludeProperties: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIncludeProperties
↳ causes: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonIncludeProperties"

I have checked and all the jackson libraries are there. If anyone has any ideas it would be very much appreciated .

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your response. If I am reading the issues correctly this fix will not be deployed until version 1.15 is released?

@mickt 

Correct....
This recent bug fix is fixed in the current master and will be part of the next Apache NiFi 1.15 release.

CFM 2.1.2 / NiFI 1.13.2 has similar issue too

You are absolutely correct that CFM 2.1.2 is also impacted by this.

While CFM 2.1.2 is based off Apache NiFi 1.13.2, it includes many bug fixes that eventually went in to Apache NiFi 1.14.  One of those changes happened to be NIFI-8723.

Full list of changes made on top of Apache NiFi 1.13.2 in CFM 2.1.2 can be found here:
https://docs.cloudera.com/cfm/2.1.2/release-notes/topics/cfm-fixed-issues.html

CFM 2.1.3 will include https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8938

Thank you,

Matt
