Suraj Varma commented on HBASE-5261:
------------------------------------
Agreed - we need to maintain compatibility with JDK6 for sure. But given that
JDK 6 is getting EOL in Nov 2012, we should see more companies moving to
_running_ on JDK 7 ...

> We need to make sure that HBase compiles and works with JDK 7. Once we verify
> it is reasonably stable, we can explore utilizing the G1 garbage collector.
> When all deployments are ready to move to JDK 7, we can start using new
> language features, but in the transition period we will need to maintain a
> codebase that compiles both with JDK 6 and JDK 7.
