T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-8168:
-------------------------------------------

bq.  And that CompletableFuture gives us something that guava's 
ListenableFuture don't give us?

Agreed.  I do think lambas help make this code more maintainable but not 
required.  


One thing I've learned is java 8 should give us some performance boost due to 
improvements in CAS contention improvements.  We use these types extensively on 
the hot path

> This is to discuss requiring Java 8 for version >= 3.0  
> There are a couple big reasons for this.
> * Better support for complex async work  e.g (CASSANDRA-5239)

> * Use Nashorn for Javascript UDFs CASSANDRA-7395
