I'd like to discuss migrating to Java 11 as the minimum required Java version for NiFi. We've been supporting both Java 8 and Java 11 for some time now. There is increased overhead in verifying builds with two different versions. There are some features and syntax available in Java 11 which cannot be used in order for NiFi to remain compatible with both versions. Java 8 premier support (Oracle) runs out in one year. Java 17 - the next LTS version - is due out later this year.
There should be plenty of lead time for users to prepare for the transition. So I wanted to start the discussion well in advance of when we discontinue Java 8 support. And, logistically how do we best inform the community of upcoming changes like this? Thanks, Mark
