[SOLVED] Upgrading hadoop to 3.1.2 with hbase-testing-utility 2.2.3

The goal

I want to switch from the HDFS to the s3a client. To this end I need to upgrade from Hadoop 2.8.5 to at least 3.1.2, because I need to use the AssumedRoleCredentialProvider for AWS access. Following Table 5 from the HBase docs, Hadoop 3.1.2 should be compatible with HBase 2.2.3.

The issue

I can't get hbase-testing-util to run with the upgraded Hadoop client. It fails to properly start the minicluster.

Code:

  utility = new HBaseTestingUtility(null);
  utility.startMiniCluster();

mvn clean install exception:

I currently run the following functional setup, which breaks when replacing 2.8.5 with 3.1.2

What I tried

I already tried excluding / manually including some dependencies with different versions, but to no avail.
