ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-12081:
------------------------------------------------

Considering the fact that we are accessing the private members of sun.nio, 
java.lang.reflect etc. All those will fail. Any code using setAccessible(true) 
will fail to work. Java 9 suggests some alternate for this (not sure whether we 
will have a better work around when the actual release happens). 
Alternate includes adding these extns to JVM
(for eg) 
{code}
--add-exports=java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.lang.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED
{code}
Just adding it here as I could see this JIRA as the umbrella JIRA.

> Java 9 will ship in 2016. This will be the first Java release that makes a 
> significant compatibility departure from earlier runtimes.
