Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-2325:
--------------------------------------
> Should we force Java 6 in 0.17?
I think it's too late for 0.17, since that's already been branched, and we
should no longer make incompatible changes.
> Require Java 6 for release 0.17
> -------------------------------

> We should require Java 6 for release 0.17. Java 6 is now available for OS/X.
> Hadoop performs much better on Java 6. And, finally, there are features of
> Java 6 (like 'df') that would be nice to use.
