Yeah, right. Until 9x is not really satisfying - the problem is more complex because people bring up CVEs for the clustering contrib that is currently in 8x and, for better or worse, it affects this line for the foreseeable future. I don't plan to invest time to make Java 8 compatible backports of the clustering engine so I'm wondering what to do with it now. The only option I see at the moment is to remove the clustering contrib entirely from 8x because it can't be upgraded. -
