Ahmed Hussein commented on HADOOP-16219:
----------------------------------------
[[email protected]] what is the status of this Jira? Are we moving forward
with upgrading branch-2.10 to use java 1.8?
Recently, I was working on upgrading guava for our internal 2.10 branch, and I
think it would be better if those changes could be applied to branch-2.10. Java
8 helps getting rid of the incompatible APIs in guava.

> 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
