Alexander Denissov commented on HAWQ-171:
-----------------------------------------
Please consider this carefully, as upgrading PXF to use JDK8 features might
prevent it (and the whole hadoop cluster) from running on JDK7, which might be
problematic for some customers that are not yet ready to migrate to JDK8.
