Sergio Peña commented on SENTRY-1893:
-------------------------------------
Hive dropped support for Java7 starting on version 2.2. We all move to Java8 on
our tests and building processes including Java8 API.
It was a process, though, such as adding support for Java8 in Hive 1.1.0
(default Java7). Then, on HIve 2.0, we moved our tests and building process on
Jenkins to Java8 (but keeping API compatibility with Java7), and then on Hive
2.2, we dropped the Java7 support and decided to use Java8 API.
I agree we should do the same in Sentry as all components are doing it.
> Bump the minimum java version to 8

> The latest version of Solr (6.x) requires Java 8. Also it looks like Oracle
> has already [EOLed Java
> 7|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html]. It may be a good
> idea to bump the minimum JDK version for Sentry to Java 8 as well.
