Istvan Toth commented on PHOENIX-5855:
--------------------------------------
This sounds like a bad idea.
We are maintaining 4.x which uses Java 7, and this would cause further
divergence and make backporting fixes and features harder.
Bring up this topic on the dev list, and ask what the sentiment is about
bumping 4.x to Java 8.

> Key: PHOENIX-5855
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-5855
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Reporter: Mingliang Liu
> Priority: Major
> Labels: easyfix
>
> I started learning Phoenix code and found some places are not using Java 8
> enough. I file this JIRA as an umbrella of efforts to make {{phoenix-core}}
> more Java 8 oriented. I will file sub-task while I'm navigating the code. So
> no special order or priority is planned.
> To assist review, I'll try to make changes limited to a file and/or a
> package. I don't plan changes to the existing code logic. Any collaboration
> will be appreciated. Feel free to file sub-tasks. And please help review.
> Thanks,
