Hi Alex, It support java 7 and 8 in apache hadoop 2.7.x while it only support java 8 in hadoop 3.x. It is great to do a certification with java 8 in hawq since: 1) hawq support hadoop 2.7.x; and 2) java 7 and 8 is forward compatible.
The component might be impacted is pxf, pl/java, etc. Is there anything you have done with java 8 in hawq? Thanks.
