### What is the problem the feature request solves? The version of arrow-java that we are using has a pretty serious [bug](https://github.com/apache/arrow-java/issues/704) that is fixed in version 18.3.0, but that version does not support Java 8, so we cannot upgrade. This issue is to discuss dropping support for Java 8 in Comet. Spark drops support for Java 8 starting with version 4.0.0 Iceberg drops support for Java 8 starting with version 1.7.0 The downside is that we will no longer be able to support users who are using Java 8 with Spark 3.4/3.5 or users with versions of Iceberg before 1.7.0, but if we cannot fix the arrow-java bug then it is probably not safe to run in production anyway. ### Describe the potential solution _No response_ ### Additional context _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
