Hi, I'm sorry for the late reaction. I haven't found the time to work on
this anymore (also priorities shifted... )
Therefore this pull request is stale. (it still could be used as a
reference).
I think the main challenge is in serialising the java8 lambdas. And
dropping the support for scala 2.10 and Java7 certainly helps in taming the
pom.xml profiles.
I will close this pull request to not keep the hopes up.
