   > Of course, who knows, maybe the users never use the Iceberg Spark or 
Iceberg Flink code with e.g. Java 17 and therefore we don't need to support 
that -- is this the case?
   
   I know a lot of Spark and Flink users run on Java 17. this was not an issue, 
probably because code compiled with old Java typically runs fine on newer 
version JVMs. Hence we choose the older Java version for released binary. 
   
   Here is a discussion from a year ago: 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/obpdrfgg3spzqrnd0rnghpygdhc8vb9q
   
   I would also echo @Fokko 's concern on CI resources. it will be great if we 
can drop Java 8 from CI matrix.
