Aaron T. Myers commented on HADOOP-9282:
----------------------------------------
We (Cloudera) have been running all of the Hadoop tests and more on Java 7 for
some time, and to my knowledge have found no actual issues. A fair number of
test failures, but all of those have been spurious, and we've been working
through fixing them as we find them.
> 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?
