Pig has support for jdk7 from Pig 0.10. I think we should drop support for JDK6 from Pig 0.14 and also publish maven binaries with jdk 1.7 from Pig 0.14.
Also it is high time to drop support for Hadoop 0.20. None of the other hadoop projects officially support Hadoop 0.20 anymore. I would like to get rid of the reflection in code w.r.t to UGI, be able to add support for fetching Credentials in UDFs, Load and StoreFunc, etc. If there are no major objections, will start two separate voting threads for that.
