Hi all Right now Zeppelin is compiled for Java 7 as minimal version. But it already EOL for a long time, so it makes sense to stop supporting it.
There are several reasons for it: - Spark 2.2.0 that is used by Zeppelin (at least in master) supports only Java 8+ - Switch to Java 8 will allow to write more clear code for Java part of the Zeppelin code. This switch was already discussed as https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-621, but it was more than 2 years ago. What do you think? -- With best wishes, Alex Ott http://alexott.net/ Twitter: alexott_en (English), alexott (Russian)
