Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-16219:
-----------------------------------------
Talking with Gabor, we can/shoud decouple the Guava update from the Java
upgrade. Both are needed, but I don't want the java 8 work to hold up guava
> [JDK8] Set minimum version of Hadoop 2 to JDK 8

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 2.10.0

> Java 7 is long EOL; having branch-2 require it is simply making the release
> process a pain (we aren't building, testing, or releasing on java 7 JVMs any
> more, are we?).
> Staying on java 7 complicates backporting, JAR updates for CVEs (hello
> Guava!) &c are becoming impossible.
> Proposed: increment javac.version = 1.8
