Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-12081:
----------------------------------------
A number of "internal" {{com.sun}} classes will be removed, including Unsafe.
These removals need to be handled or HBase will not be able to run on a Java 9
runtime. Doing this in a backwards compatible way may be tricky. I'm not sure
how Oracle will navigate to where they want to go while dealing with unfixable
user code breakage and I hope we have an opportunity to provide pushback on
changes if required.
I don't think we need to do anything today beyond track what others in the
ecosystem are doing, for example
