--------------------------------------

             Summary: sun.misc.Cleaner has moved to a new location in OpenJDK 9
                 Key: HADOOP-12760
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12760
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Chris Hegarty
            Priority: Minor


This is a heads-up: there are upcoming changes in JDK 9 that will require, at 
least, a small update to org.apache.hadoop.crypto.CryptoStreamUtils & 
org.apache.hadoop.io.nativeio.NativeIO.

OpenJDK issue no. 8148117: "Move sun.misc.Cleaner to jdk.internal.ref" [1], 
will move the Cleaner class from sun.misc to jdk.internal.ref. There is ongoing 
discussion about the possibility of providing a public supported API, maybe in 
the JDK 9 timeframe, for releasing NIO direct buffer native memory, see the 
core-libs-dev mail thread [2]. At the very least CryptoStreamUtils & NativeIO 
[3] should be updated to have knowledge of the new location of the JDK Cleaner.
