Kasper Sørensen commented on METAMODEL-170:
-------------------------------------------
Well technically a lot of the things in the ES code is not to retain Java 6
compatibility, but to retain ES 0.9.x compatibility. I also think we could drop
support for ES 0.9.x but it could be seen as a separate story IMO.

> We've decided on the mailing list to drop Java 6 support and that relieves us
> of having a few limitations that this issue is designed to get over.
> * Upgrade the Maven javac plugin to use Java 7 compiler settings
> * Remove the Java 6 build profile in travis configuration
> * Delete the Java 6 build profiles and test-hacks in the ElasticSearch module
> * I cannot remember, but check if there are also such test-hacks in the
> HBase module?
