Todd Lipcon commented on KUDU-2099:
-----------------------------------
I think we should delay this as long as possible unless we have any strong
benefits for moving forward. We can continue to build for Java 7 even if Spark
is built for Java 8. If there isn't any major new feature we need from Guava,
it seems like holding off maximizes the community of users that can use Kudu.
> Drop Java 7 Support

> Key: KUDU-2099
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2099
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Grant Henke
> Assignee: Grant Henke
>
> Java 8 has been out for quite some time and with Java 9 coming we should
> consider dropping Java 7 support. This also would allow us to update some
> libraries that have also decided to move to Java 8 only including Spark 2.2.0
> and Guava 23.0.
