Can't speak to the broader group but I would point out that JDK 6 is EOL. Furthermore I have been testing the G1GC with RAM footprints up to 400 GB And it is been performing very well. Apart from not actually having done tests, I have no reason to suspect scaling up to 1GB won't be possible.
I would suggest JDK 1.7 is fine and not to back port. https://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/java_6_eol_h_h On 11/03/13 8:48 PM, "Lisen Mu" <[email protected]> wrote: >Hello. > >I've noticed that current version of drill compiles successfully under jdk >7, but not under jdk 6. > >However, It seems that the hadoop community has not yet announced official >"support" for jdk 7: > >http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HadoopJavaVersions > >So before diving into further development, It would be very helpful to >know >your opinion and plan about supporting different jdk versions.
