Hi,
I would also be in favor of dropping Java 6 support. In my opinion, Java
7 is the standard these days. All of the three big Hadoop distributions
also already consider Java 6 as deprecated for their latest releases
[1,2,3].
Best regards,
Daniel

One of the reasons is that Scala was not very well known when the
project started. That was around 2009. (Correct me if I'm wrong here,
please) The more important reason is that we try to have efficient
algorithms and memory management. This is easier to achieve in a
language like Java that is relatively low-level compared to Scala.
Scala makes it easy to write concise code that get's compiled to
inefficient code.
just my 2 cents...

While I just just joined the community, so I am yet to be aware of the
internals of Flink but I am already liking the feature enhancements in Java
7 (type inferences, try-with-resources, diamond operator comes to my mind).
A digressing question, and I am sure this has would have been debated
extensively so pardon for bringing this up again.., but how did we chose
between java and scala?

HI Guys,
I am wondering what do you guys think if we make Flink requires Java7
for both compile and runtime?
Several reasons why I am proposing this:
1. Java6 has reached end of life as announced by Oracle. We have seen
compile error happening with some versions of Java 6
2. Flink is just starting and hence have more flexibility to move to Java 7
3. Flink does not have compile dependencies that requires Java 6
4. Java 7 enhancements:

Let me know what do you guys think.
