Sorry, I've got confused and am now confusing everyone else; been looking at the build and here is my understanding now 1. Avro builds against hadoop 3.3.3 since #1697 2. and it uses java 8 everywhere. 2. but it also has a branch-2 profile for "tests to validate backwards compatibility with Hadoop 2", and it is that which is keeping things from using the hadoop 3.x apis I think that it is time to turn off the hadoop 2 support. Because if avro builds are java8+ anyway, they aren't that likely to run on those hadoop 2.x clusters still in production. I know this as whenever I have to produce something to work on any cluster of that era -I have to use a jdk7 JDK to make the release. Do that and I will provide the shim library to get at the maximum performance IO operations available against HDFS and cloud storage, when present. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
