You only have to make sure JAVA_HOME and your path point to the java8 installation for every storm process (nimbus and supervisor) you start. I've had no problem using storm with Java8. The only times I've had problems is when someone changes JAVA_HOME to java6 or 7 and then storm jar throws the usual major/minor exception because my storm topology jars are compiled with java8.
