Thank you for sending an email.
Could you elaborate more about your background?
The following is my opinion at first glance.
For (1), Apache ORC supports Java 8/11/17
without any problem as you see our CI test coverage.
I'm -1 for dropping Java 8 support because
We still have lots of customers who are on JDK8 still.
Specifically, Apache Spark distribution should be built with JDK8.
For (2), there is Owen's PR in the community.
https://github.com/apache/orc/pull/641
ORC-508 remove hadoop dependency
So, I'm wondering if you are
A. Proposing a new PR, or
B. Taking over Owen's PR
Thanks,
Dongjoon.
