Thomas Graves commented on HADOOP-9282:
---------------------------------------
I personally haven't run them recently. Probably. We had most cleaned up at
one point but some probably broke again - thats why we need jenkins with it.
> Java 7 support
> --------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-9282
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9282
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Kevin Lyda
>
> The Hadoop Java Versions page makes no mention of Java 7.
> http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HadoopJavaVersions
> Java 6 is EOL as of this month (
> http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_6.xml ) and that's after extending
> the date twice: https://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/java_6_eol_h_h While
> Oracle has recently released a number of security patches, chances are more
> security issues will come up and we'll be left running clusters we can't
> patch if we stay with Java 6.
> Does Hadoop support Java 7 and if so could the docs be changed to indicate
> that?
