Update dynamodb-geo to work with version 1.10.61 of aws-java-sdk

[peterfennema]

Issue: dynamodb-geo-1.0.0.jar can not be deployed in a runtime environment with the latest aws-java-sdk ( tested with 1.10.61)

Use case: I want to apply dynamodb-geo in a lambda function. In this function I need the recent aws-java-sdk. If I deploy dynamodb-geo-1.0.0.jar I get errors like Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/jackson/map/ObjectMapper

Cause: The current dynamodb-geo-1.0.0 requires jackson-1.8.9 (via aws-java-sdk-1.5.5). Version 1.8.9 of Jackson uses java packaging org.codehaus.jackson.
aws-java-sdk-1.10.61 requires jackson-2.5. Version 2.5.* of Jackson uses packaging com.fasterxml.jackson.

Solution: Release a new version of dynamodb-geo (I used 1.1.0 in the pom.xml) and apply the new jackson package names in the affected files.

I wrote a simple test client here: https://github.com/peterfennema/dynamodb-geo/blob/topic-update-to-aws-java-sdk-1.10.61/srctest/nl/peterfennema/geo/SimpleGeoClientTest.java

Can this be merged? It's been nearly a year, can it at least receive a response?

@brianjd I concluded that AWS has abandoned this project. They should mark it as such, so that people do not invest their time to make it work. Or, even better, start supporting it again....

I ditched Dynamo for GeoQueries, and instead went over to PostgreSQL with the PostGIS extension. It is much faster and a lot cheaper too.

@kashifaliquazi Unfortunately, this awslabs project is no longer supported. This project was intended to be archived some time ago, however due to an administrative error it was not completed. I'll finish that now.

You're welcome to use one of the many community forks of this project or fork it yourself. Sorry for the inconvenience.
