Uwe Schindler updated HADOOP-14586:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
You cannot use any Hadoop component anymore with the latest release candidate 
build of Java 9, because it fails with an StringIndexOutOfBoundsException in 
{{org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell#<clinit>}}. This leads to a whole cascade of 
failing classes (next in chain is StringUtils).

The reason is that the release candidate build of Java 9 no longer has "-ea" in 
the version string and the system property "java.version" is now simply "9". 
This causes the following line to fail fatally:

{code:java}
  private static boolean IS_JAVA7_OR_ABOVE =
      System.getProperty("java.version").substring(0, 3).compareTo("1.7") >= 0;
{code}

Analysis:
- This code looks wrong, as comparing a version this way is incorrect.
- The {{substring(0, 3)}} is not needed, {{compareTo}} also works without it, 
although it is still an invalid way to compare a version.

Maybe look at Lucene's source code (Constants.java) to have a better way in 
doing this! -Sorry this is incredible to me!- Hardcoding string bounds into a 
static initializer that are applied on a string that you have no control of...

This issue breaks Apache Solr from working with Java 9, so I set it to 
"critical". We have to disable the whole Hadoop integration once Java 9 is 
detected.
