Subject: [DISCUSS] Someone to update 3rd-party libraries used by GEODE

Hello Apache Geode Community, 

It is time to update the 3rd-party libraries used by GEODE. To get that done, I am requesting a volunteer to take on the responsibility.

This consists of updates going through the libraries we depend on and updating them to the latest version that works with our code.

We would need to get this done within the next week or two, so that we have time to shake out issues before the next release.

Regards,
{Release Manager} on behalf of the Apache Geode team
