I don't think we can maintain so many JDK versions. There would be some
thirdparty dependencies which we might upgrade to & they would be compiled on
higher JDK versions. So, the moment that happens, JDK-8 compilation will break.
& Not upgrading to those dependencies or not using higher JDK features doesn't
make sense.
Hadoop in branch-3 dropped JDK-7 support as well, branch-2 only has JDK-7
IIRC. We haven't marked the lower branches which are JDK-8 compliant as EOL,
so, it isn't a deal breaker for someone who wants to stick to JDK-8, Moreover
we can't run tests & all on all JDK versions, We need to pick one only.
I think most of the projects are dropping the JDK-8 support and chasing for
higher versions. I know in Hive it is like 4.0 line -JDK-8, 4.1.0 line - JDK-17
& now master branch min JDK-21 compile time, same with Tez the master is on
JDK-21 compile time support.
I don't think sticking to any legacy stuff is worth it if it adds any
technical debt for us, Should chase for a higher version. Just my opinion,
other might feel differently
