Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-9608:
-----------------------------------------
This patch won't make into any current release - i.e. none of 2.1, 2.2, 3.0,
3.11. The changes are too intrusive.
Given that Java 9 will be EOL's, when Java 10 is released and 10 will EOL when
11 is released (6 months in between), the earliest newer version that will be
supported is the one that's current when 4.0 goes GA.
I'm even unsure whether it makes sense to support Java 8 after this patch, as
Java 8 will have reached EOL by end of this year. [~jasobrown], wdyt about
removing support for Java 8 with this one?
CI needs to be set up for Java 10/11/42/whatever, too.
> Support Java 9
> --------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-9608
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9608
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Robert Stupp
> Assignee: Robert Stupp
> Priority: Minor
>
> This ticket is intended to group all issues found to support Java 9 in the
> future.
> From what I've found out so far:
> * Maven dependency {{com.sun:tools:jar:0}} via cobertura cannot be resolved.
> It can be easily solved using this patch:
> {code}
> - <dependency groupId="net.sourceforge.cobertura"
> artifactId="cobertura"/>
> + <dependency groupId="net.sourceforge.cobertura"
> artifactId="cobertura">
> + <exclusion groupId="com.sun" artifactId="tools"/>
> + </dependency>
> {code}
> * Another issue is that {{sun.misc.Unsafe}} no longer contains the methods
> {{monitorEnter}} + {{monitorExit}}. These methods are used by
> {{o.a.c.utils.concurrent.Locks}} which is only used by
> {{o.a.c.db.AtomicBTreeColumns}}.
> I don't mind to start working on this yet since Java 9 is in a too early
> development phase.
