yongzhi.shao commented on HIVE-28614:
-------------------------------------
Yes, the Vector API was introduced in JDK 16. Therefore, if we rewrite some
modules using the Vector API, this means that Hive 4.1.0+ will not support JDK
8/11.
However, considering that other surrounding communities are abandoning JDK 8
(for example: Hadoop Iceberg, Trino), it is feasible to completely give up JDK
8. If someone wants to continue using JDK 8, they can continue to use Hive
4.0.X.

> Key: HIVE-28614
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-28614
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Wish
> Security Level: Public(Viewable by anyone)
> Components: Vectorization
> Affects Versions: 4.1.0, 4.0.1
> Reporter: yongzhi.shao
> Priority: Major
>
> As the Vector API in JDK23 is becoming more stable, both Trino and cassandra
> have started to rewrite vector modules using the vector api.
> As we are supporting JDK17+, should we consider rewriting some of the
> functionality using the vector api and modules such as java.lang.foreign?
