Ugh, I knew we were gonna get to this point :). I have some thoughts, and I'd
like to start a dev list email thread - this ticket isn't the right place for
that conversation.
wrt to this patch specifically, I think we should hold onto it once we
determine the way forward for java releases.
> 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.
