Unable to reference Newtonsoft.Json version 9.0.0.0

[lokesh-zende]

Hi,
In my application, I am trying to read a file from data lake store.
I read a file using

DataLakeStoreFileSystemManagementClient _adlsFileSystemClient;
Stream str = _adlsFileSystemClient.FileSystem.Open("adl1", "//TestETL//TestData.tsv");

I observed that, for DataLakeStoreFileSystemManagementClient to read a file, it requires Newtonsoft.Json version 6.0.0.0.
Where as to login to Azure UserTokenProvider.LoginSilentAsync depends on Newtonsoft.Json version 9.0.0.0 or greater.
In my application, I am using Newtonsoft.Json version 9.0.0.0.

When I create an assembly of my application and try to use it in USQL job, the job fails with error

This shows that USQL needs Newtonsoft.Json version 6.0.0.0 to read a file from DLS whereas Microsoft.Rest.Azure.Authentication depends on Newtonsoft.Json version 9.0.0.0 or greater.

If I use Newtonsoft.Json version 6.0.0.0 then my authentication fails.

I am stuck in this.
Any solution / work around appreciated.

Thanks,
Lokesh.

The same problem happens with the included DataFormats example found here: https://github.com/Azure/usql/tree/master/Examples/DataFormats

The project references Newtonsoft.Json 8.0.0.0, but Microsoft.Hadoop.Avro which is included references Newtonsoft.Json 6.0.0.0 so when I try to run it I get the same error as Lokesh.

This is what AsmSpy shows:

You need to downgrade to JSON 6.0, if you have nuget, change the version to older one, 2015-ish...

Yes, I should have mentioned that is exactly the workaround I used.
Now my packages.config in the DataFormats example looks like this:

<packages>
  <package id="Microsoft.Hadoop.Avro" version="1.5.6" targetFramework="net45" />
  <package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="6.0.8" targetFramework="net45" />
</packages>

I had to downgrade the Newtonsoft.Json package to 6.0.7, because 6.0.8 was not making the assembly to recognize the 6.0.0.0.0 version 👎
