This documentation of the ClientAbortException will tell you why you're getting the exception:

Wrap an IOException identifying it as being caused by an abort of a request by a remote client.

I see this type of exception in my logs too. Basically it means they your server was sending information to a web client (My guess from the jackson json stuff in the stacktrace is that a webpage made an AJAX call to your webserver), but before you server could send all the information, the web client broke the connection (perhaps your user closed the web page or their browser before the entire response was written). I don't think this is anything you need to worry about, unless you are controlling both the server and the client, in which case you should check why your client is closing the connection early.
