On Java versions, it looks like about 13% of Drill downloads are the Hadoop 2 build. Add to that the unknown fraction of people who are running the Hadoop 3 build on Java 8 and you do end up with a noticeable fraction of users. However, us bumping our JVM build target to 11 doesn't leave these users with nothing: they can still download the source code, set the target JVM to 8 and run their own build. They'll have to hope that people haven't been adding code that targets Java 11+ language features of course. I agree that supporting the last three LTS releases of Java is reasonable, and we can stop building for Java 8. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
