java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core.util.JacksonFeatureSet com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser.getReadCapabilities()'

I've encountered this problem while trying to add the neosemantics plugin version 4.4.0.1 to my K8s deployment of a Neo4j causal cluster using the neo4j:4.4.6-enterprise as a base image and installing the plugin with a custom Dockerfile. Basically when the pods start up I get the following output:

Changed password for user 'neo4j'.

After that the Pods error out. It looks like Akka (which is apparently being used as a middleware in the Helm chart I'm using, https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/neo4j-helm-charts/neo4j-cluster-core) needs a function that is not present in version 2.9.10.x (which is the version of jackson that the neosemantics 4.4.0.1 release ships with) but is instead present in version 2.12.x. I solved the issue by bumping up the version of the jackson dependencies to 2.13.3 (along with adding jackson-core and jackson-mapping as explicit dependencies, as suggested here.

Would it be possible to bump up the version of jackson-databind to address this issue?

This happens when attempting to import JSON-LD using Neosemantics (4.4.0.1) that installed in Neo4j (4.4.5) by Neo4j Desktop (1.4.15) as well. Looks like these are all the current versions.
