Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-11090:
-------------------------------------------
bq. I think we might be better of switching the pre-commit build to JDK8 so
that we can catch anything before it goes in.
Yetus supports testing against multiple JDKs during precommit runs. But in
order to make it even remotely viable for Hadoop, two things need to happen:
* HADOOP-12198 needs to get committed to Yetus to fix Hadoop support back up
* HADOOP-11984 needs to get committed to Hadoop so that unit tests don't take 4
hours
