Yes. JDK 8 is an exciting opportunity to modernize the code; we can make it less verbose by converting anonymous inner classes to lambdas, and by using “default” functions in interfaces. For new features that help significantly with code style, I’d like someone to take a pass over the code to use those features wherever applicable. I think that would be better than using the JDK 8 only for new code.
I’ve listed some of the features in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2027 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2027>.
