Gwen Shapira commented on KAFKA-3174:
-------------------------------------
As anecdotal evidence, 100% of the customers I worked with in the last 6 month
have been on Java 1.8 (including everything from tiny startups to huge
financial institutions).
Looks like companies simply jumped from Java 6 to Java 8 directly. So I
wouldn't be too concerned about a regression in Java 1.7.
> Re-evaluate the CRC32 class performance.

> We used org.apache.kafka.common.utils.CRC32 in clients because it has better
> performance than java.util.zip.CRC32 in Java 1.6.
> In a recent test I ran it looks in Java 1.8 the CRC32 class is 2x as fast as
> the Crc32 class we are using now. We may want to re-evaluate the performance
> of Crc32 class and see it makes sense to simply use java CRC32 instead.
