Arpit Agarwal commented on HADOOP-11090:
----------------------------------------
bq. In fact, I think 2.7 is ready for JDK 7 since almost works are done:
I see, I thought branch-2 cannot be forced to require JDK 8 for compatibility
reasons however it might be permitted by our compatibility guide.
bq. _The JVM requirements will not change across point releases within the same
minor release except if the JVM version under question becomes unsupported.
Minor/major releases might require later versions of JVM for some/all of the
supported operating systems._
Thanks.
