Nigel Daley commented on HADOOP-2325: ------------------------------------- bq. Has anyone tried out the java 6 from http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/code/macosx/ ? To be a little more direct.... Lack of Java 6 support on MacOS has been cited in the past as a reason to hold back on requiring Java 6 for Hadoop. If you develop on the Mac, you should try out Owen's suggested open source Java 6 implementation with your IDE and post your feedback here. > Require Java 6 for release 0.16. > -------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2325 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2325 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > > We should require Java 6 for release 0.16. Java 6 is now available for OS/X. > Hadoop performs much better on Java 6. And, finally, there are features of > Java 6 (like 'df') that would be nice to use. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
