Currently supported versions of Tomcat are 7.0.x, 8.5.x and 9.0.x.
# http://tomcat.10.x6.nabble.com/Please-help-EOL-TOMCAT-7-and-8-5-td5073688.html

Tomcat 9.0.x seems not to be good candidate because it requires Java 8 or later. Since 7.0.x is live for a while, upgrading to 7.0.94 first would be easier step.

Thoughts? We've got customers asking us to do it so I am quite serious
about this proposal.

The impact includes KMS and Httpfs. We are also looking into upgrading
Tomcat versions in other projects (Oozie, for example)

During the Wednesday's meetup, we discussed the plan for the "bridge
release" branch-2.10.

A smooth upgrade path (that is, rolling upgrade) from 2.10 to Hadoop 3 was
called out as the most critical release criteria.

I am wondering if Tomcat (as well as other dependency upgrade) upgrade
should be considered as well?

We migrated from Tomcat to Jetty in Hadoop3, because Tomcat 6 went EOL in
2016. But we did not realize three years after Tomcat 6's EOL, a majority
of Hadoop users are still in Hadoop 2, and it looks like Hadoop 2 will stay
alive for another few years.

Backporting Jetty to Hadoop2 is probably too big of an imcompatibility.
How about migrating to Tomcat9?

FWIW, Tomcat 6 EOL along is big enough a reason why you should move up to
Hadoop 3. :)
