Nezih Yigitbasi commented on PARQUET-342:
-----------------------------------------
Totally agreed. Since Parquet can already be compiled with Java 7, it seems
like it's time to move.
> Can't build Parquet on Java 6
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: PARQUET-342
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-342
> Project: Parquet
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parquet-mr
> Reporter: Nezih Yigitbasi
> Assignee: Nezih Yigitbasi
>
> I am having problems building the latest master with Java 6. I tried building
> the whole project
> {noformat}mvn clean install -DskipTests{noformat}
> and I also tried building individual modules
> {noformat}mvn --projects parquet-common -am -amd -U clean install
> -DskipTests{noformat}
> Both fail with the same error shown below. SemanticVersion class uses
> Integer.compare(int,int) which was introduced in Java 1.7, but, AFAIK and
> according to the pom file (and to PARQUET-146) Parquet should still be built
> using Java 6. Similarly TestInputOutputFormatWithPadding and
> TestInputOutputFormat classes depend on java.nio.file package that was
> introduced in Java 1.7
> When I switch over to Java 7 the build succeeds.
