Eron Wright commented on FLINK-10725:
--------------------------------------
Want to mention an interesting detail, JDK10 introduced the
`UseContainerSupport` flag which is said to improve on the experimental
containerization flags that were in JDK9. Considering that Flink makes
significant use of off-heap memory (e.g. rocksdb) and is typically deployed
into a container environment, full support for JDK10/11 may significantly
improve usability and stability.
> Support for Java 11 (LTS)

> Key: FLINK-10725
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10725
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build System
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Sina Madani
> Priority: Major
> Original Estimate: 2h
> Remaining Estimate: 2h

> Java 8 is over 5 years old and will be end of life in 2019/2020. Java 11, the
> latest long-term support release, became GA in September 2018. Given that
> FLINK-8033 still hasn't been resolved and that Java 9 was end of life
> (discontinued / no longer publically available or supported) since March
> 2018, it doesn't make sense to continue trying to add Java 9 support when
> both Java 9 and Java 10 are end-of-life.
