Anu Engineer commented on HADOOP-14875:
---------------------------------------

[~templedf] Thanks for working on this. Along with my comments in HDFS-14876, 
one minor comment on the contents of this patch.

>From AdminCompatibilityGuide.htm:

* Platform Dependencies: Please see my comment in HADOOP-14876. 
"The minimum supported version of the JVM will not change between major 
releases of Hadoop." -- Not sure why we are doing this? I don't think we should 
make this guarantee. Especially with Java moving to 3-month release cadence. We 
as a community might not have enough resources to make sure that all JVMs 
versions are tested and supported.

* "In the event that the current minimum supported JVM version becomes 
unsupported between major releases, the minimum supported JVM version may be 
changed in a minor release."  If this is the intent, then simply saying we will 
support all JVMs till the end of life is more concise and clear.
