> @ctubbsii All things I listed prove that Java8 is adopted widely and has good support in the Hadoop ecosystem today But nobody is disputing that Java 8 is widely adopted *today*. Development on new versions of Thrift aren't for *today*. New releases of Thrift would be released to be adopted in the *future*. The fact that Hadoop has been made to run on Java 11 means that related projects no longer need to be held back on Java 8 and risk being incompatible. It is now possible for projects like Thrift to move to 11, and still work with Hadoop and other projects. Hadoop does not require Thrift to stay on Java 8. So... if the Thrift project has other reasons for moving (like simplifying release test matrices, or lowering the burden on contributors who want to use Java 11, which I think are good reasons to move to 11), that should be possible and not be a problem for the Hadoop ecosystem (or other similarly situated projects and their respective ecosystems). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
