ERROR JacksonVersion - Version '2.9.4' of package 'jackson-databind' is not supported

i am using azure sdk(azure-storage-file-datalake, azure-core, azure-identity) for writing the avro data to azure datalake gen 2 from kafka(using connectors), but i am getting very weird errors as below
2022-05-12 10:46:10 ERROR JacksonVersion:506 - Version '2.9.4' of package 'jackson-annotations' is not supported (older than earliest supported version - 2.10.0), please upgrade.

Dependencies with scope "runtime" are not used for compilation, but only for execution. A dependency with this scope is not put on the compile classpath, so you could remove the runtime scope.
However a better way to overwrite transitive dependency versions that you don't use yourself is to use depependency management like this:
<project>
[...]
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>group-a</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-a</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
[...]
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
</project>

This is a challenge with Azure-SDK (here is a similar issue). Azure-SDK has a dependency on Jackson. The specific version of Jackson depends on the azure-sdk version you are using.
The latest release supports Jackson 2.10-2.13. What it means is you may have other dependencies on Jackson, and the SDK will still work. Provided Jackson version fetched is from 2.10-2.13. Azure-SDK is compatible with all these versions.
If you wish to use Jackson 2.9 (or if that's coming as a dependency from other dependency), then there is no way around it. You would necessarily need to upgrade your dependencies so that it fetches jackson 2.10 and above.
In your case, there would be some dependency that is fetching 2.9.x series.
This is what I would do:
Based on all non-azure-sdk dependencies. Decide which jackson version to hold on to. Explicitly add this jackson dependency in the pom.xml
Use azure-sdk BOM
You dont have to specify exclusion. Specifying a version in pom overrides other dependency versions

Hosting environment had those 2.9.4 versioned jackson jars which were loading at run time and causing the issues, i replaced those with newer version jars , its working all fine now.
(we had installed kafka client on the host, which internally had those jars inside kafka/libs)
got the ans from - https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/issues/28902

Unable to test Spring Boot Jersey Rest API using TestRestTemplate Jar Conflict

#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
#Import({ JerseyConfig.class })
public class BenchApplicationTest {
#Autowired
private TestRestTemplate restTemplate;
#Test
public void contextLoads() {
ResponseEntity<String> entity = this.restTemplate.getForEntity("/bench/healthcheck", String.class);
assertThat(entity.getStatusCode()).isEqualTo(HttpStatus.OK);
}
}
My application executes perfectly and i am able to test the api using Postman. But when i try the above method to execute the test case to test the API, it gives the following error.
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'testRestTemplate': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: INSTANCE

I have tried to check the this error and the almost all of them suggest (like this link and link,) that there are multiple version of a jars(http-client/http-core) in my application. I have checked and i did not find multiple version of SSLConnectionSocketFactory in my application. If at all there are conflicting jars, how can i know which are conflicting. I do not manually add the jar, its a maven project. I am stuck with this problem for the last 1 week and I am now at my wits end.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Quick answer
Quick check of your pom.xml shows that particular dependency org.owasp.esapi:esapi pulls old 3.1 version of httpclient in. Try adding exclusion section to this dependency as described below. If this does not help, work through dependency tree accordingly
Full answer
Run the following command under your project root folder
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=commons-httpclient
That will print your project's maven dependency tree with all pulled transitive dependencies with artifact id commons-httpclient, for example:
[INFO] your:project:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
[INFO] \- org.owasp.esapi:esapi:jar:2.1.0:compile
[INFO] \- org.owasp.antisamy:antisamy:jar:1.4.3:compile
[INFO] \- commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:jar:3.1:compile
Than you could determine what is the source of wrong version of httpclient coming in (for our example let it be org.owasp.esapi:esapi) and then you can exclude that transitive dependency implicitly by amending your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.owasp.esapi</groupId>
<artifactId>esapi</artifactId>
<version>2.1.0</version>
<!-- change starts here -->
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>commons-httpclient</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-httpclient</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
<!-- change ends here -->
</dependency>
Note, that you may require to filter dependency tree using wildcards like
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=*http*
or even work through plain tree output calling mvn dependency:tree without params
And finally you can end up with explicit adding required dependency to your pom.xml having wrong versions found and excluded as decried above:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
<version>4.5.2</version>
</dependency>
Update
As problem is not resolved by above. Handy code piece to determine all the files being loaded from classpath:
ClassLoader cl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
URL[] urls = ((URLClassLoader)cl).getURLs();
for(URL url: urls){
System.out.println(url.getFile());
}
Can you put it into your contextLoads() right before restTemplate call and check/share the console output then?

NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/spark/sql/DataFrame in spark-cassandra-connector

Everything seems fine but when I run test cases then It stuck between the process and log some error message saying:

Thank you in advance!!
Can anyone please help me with this ?
If you need more info please let me know!!

Try to add dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
<artifactId>spark-sql_2.10</artifactId>
<version>${spark.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Also make sure that your version spark-cassandra-connector is compatible with version of Spark you're using. I had the same error message even with all proper dependencies when was trying to use older spark-cassandra-connector with newer Spark version. Refer to this table: https://github.com/datastax/spark-cassandra-connector#version-compatibility

SLF4J NoSuchMethodError on LocationAwareLogger

This is a question that has been asked before, but unfortunately no solution seems to work for me. I am facing this exception (with abridged stack trace):
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V
at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SLF4JLocationAwareLog.debug(SLF4JLocationAwareLog.java:133)
at org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.ThreadSafeClientConnManager$1.getConnection(ThreadSafeClientConnManager.java:221)
at org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector.execute(DefaultRequestDirector.java:401)
at org.apache.http.impl.client.AbstractHttpClient.execute(AbstractHttpClient.java:820)
This happens when compiling using a command line Maven and also when deploying to Tomcat. It works fine inside IntelliJ IDEA.
Usually I would expect this to be caused by multiple versions of the SLF4J library being in use. But the Maven dependency tree shows all slf4j libraries in a single version:
..$ mvn dependency:tree | grep slf4j
[INFO] +- org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:jar:1.6.4:compile
[INFO] | \- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.6.4:compile
[INFO] +- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.6.4:compile
[INFO] +- org.slf4j:jcl-over-slf4j:jar:1.6.4:compile
[INFO] +- org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:jar:1.6.4:compile
I even ensured that there is no other JAR in ~/.m2/repository
There are no references to commons-logging libraries either (I excluded them all as confirmed by the dependency tree.
How can I resolve this issue? I'm running out of ideas.

These are the properties set on the parent:
<properties>

<org.hibernate.validator.version>4.2.0.Final</org.hibernate.validator.version>
<org.slf4j.backend>slf4j-simple</org.slf4j.backend>

</properties>
Given my recent experiments it doesn't seem to be an issue relating to the project files, though. I tried to 'hg bisect' the problem, but going back weeks I could not find a version that works. Some of these are running in production systems, so it is not likely to be a code change that causes this problem.

The javadocs for NoSuchMethodError say,
Normally, this error is caught by the compiler; this error can
only occur at run time if the definition of a class has incompatibly changed.
So this is probably being caused by incompatible versions of slf4j being loaded. Rather than looking at your classpath and guessing where classes are loaded, find where your class is loaded as described here.
Print out where org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger, org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SLF4JLocationAwareLog and org.slf4j.Marker are being loaded from.

I had the same error message, but the solution was different for me. I had to remove to following dependency from the maven pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
<version>1.6.1</version>
</dependency>
After that the error vanishes and everything worked for me.

One Solution.
Verify on eclipse directory: configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info
slf4j no more one

do
mvn clean dependency:tree -DskipTests;
remove all the dependencies of "org.slf4j" except one (highest one") as
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-jdk14</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>

We were facing the similar problem and it turned out we had 2 incompatible versions of slf4j jars in the classpath.
The class path had the following 2 incompatible versions. After removing the lower versions from the classpath, the problem was fixed.
slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar
slf4j-api-1.5.11.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.5.11.jar

Solved !!!
I was having dependency on another project which was using JavaDoc plugin.
JavaDoc plugin internally uses Maven-core and Maven-core-2.2.1 uses jcl-over-slf4j: 1.5.6.
Maven-core is a parent level jar.
Now, due to this JCL jar, i was facing this issue.
Hence I removed it from the lib folder of weblogic(or whatever server you might be using).
And ALAS !! The problem was resolved.
Note 1:- You can also use Maven's <exclusion> tag to remove this dependency from the JavaDoc(or any other plugin) to resolve this issue.
Note 2:- Use the Dependency Hierarchy tab in POM to see if any such old SLF4J jars are present. And remove rest and keep only one version.
Hope it helps ..

This usually happens when you have dependencies that both use the same transitive dependency. This means that 2 of your dependencies (or your app, and a transitive dependency) are both using SLF4J internally with different versions. But your app can only use a single version of the class at the same time so it has to choose (don't know the rules here... random?)
To solve the problem, you usually need to do a mvn dependency:tree to see which are using different versions of SLF4J.
Adding this dependency solved the issue for me
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>1.7.25</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
<version>1.7.5</version>
</dependency>

I had quartz scheduler in my pom file, which included slf4j, so I excluded it:
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
and worked!
