Fwd: Java8 and lucene version

[Pushyami Gundala]

Hi, We are using lucene 2.9.4 version for our application that has search.
We are planning on upgrading our application to run on java 8. My Question
is when we move to java 8 does the lucene-2.9.4 version still work? or i
need to upgrade to new version of lucene  to support  java 8.
Regards,
Pushyami
