*yes, we can serialize java 8 lambdas .**

**Since in future we are going to adapt to java 8 .**
**So it's better to be prepared for it. Since we can do everything with
java 8 , than why to be dependent on scala.**
**Atleast we should start discussing it now to be well prepared for
future. *

Scala allows lazy evaluation and operator overloading and lambdas which can
be serialized. Java 8 provides lambdas that I am not sure if you can
serialize.
Also, Spark already uses Scala which has been around for a decade. Java8
isn't here yet.

Hi,
I was just thinking , do we still need scala . Since in java 8 we have
all(probably) kind of feature provided by scala.
Since I am new to group , so just thinking why not to make mahout away
from scala. Is there any specific reason to adopt scala.
