I'd vote for keep compiling 4.x branches in java7. It makes sense as it's just a new minor release.
It's pretty easy reverting back to spark 1.6 and also avatica dependency could be reverted to the previous version.

The phoenix-queryserver module has a dependency on Avatica which does not support Java 1.7. The phoenix-spark module depends on spark 2.3.2 which also does not support Java 1.7. Do folks feel we should continue to provide support Java 1.7 on the 1.x branches?
