I believe you mean when will it be compatible with Java 7, not require it

I meant, "when will I be able to use some of the JDK 7 APIs in Hadoop code
?", which means JDK7 is required for Hadoop.
There are enough language changes in Java7 to make considering this
worthwhile; the Java5->Java6 changes were so minor (@Override on
interface) that it wasn't that compelling.
I would suggest moving up projects on the side first, layers on top,
like your MPI-on-YARN stuff, where there is little or no installed base
to worry about
