JNA library 4.4.0 causes error GLIBC_2.14 not found during installation on CentOS 6.x

Current Situation

• When installing JobScheduler for CentOS 6.x then the following error occurs:

  java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/jna-109288446/jna9093260608596884601.tmp: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found

• The root cause is the JNA library version 4.4.0 that requires a GLIBC version 2.14 that is not available for CentOS 6 but ships with CentOS 7.
• This issue is covered with the thread UnsatisfiedLinkError: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found that explains the details.
• Delimitation: This issue is not related to JS-1773 that includes a dependency of the Master, this issue is about a dependency introduced by JNA.

Desired Behavior

• Upgrade JNA to version 4.5.2 and include respective Java libraries with JobScheduler Master.

Workaround

• JNA ships with JobScheduler Master with the following libraries in the Master's installation directory:
  • ./lib/3rd-party/jna-4.4.0.jar
  • ./lib/3rd-party/jna-platform-4.4.0.jar
• Download JNA libraries for version 4.5.2 from Maven Central:
  • https://search.maven.org/artifact/net.java.dev.jna/jna/4.5.2/jar
  • https://search.maven.org/artifact/net.java.dev.jna/jna-platform/4.5.2/jar
• Follow these steps to update the libraries:
  • Stop the JobScheduler Master
  • remove existing libraries jna-4.4.0.jar and jna-platform-4.4.0.jar from the ./lib/3rd-party directory
  • add downloaded libraries jna-4.5.2.jar and jna-platform-4.5.2.jar to the ./lib/3rd-party directory
• Restart the JobScheduler Master
