+1 for me too.
Java 9 is already in early access and is supposed to be GA fairly soon. I
think the last time we talked about this we decided that staying 1 release of
java behind the latest was decent practice, and I still agree. - Bobby

+1 on moving to Java 8 for 2.x release.
As Jungtaek has already mentioned Oracle stopped supporting JDK/JRE 7 since
April 2015. Java 8 brings better APIs and it will make our code look better and
future user APIs can be designed lot better.
Thanks,Satish.

I'm not sure we would like to continue discussion on cross mailing list. Please
let me know if we want to split discussion into two separate thread per mailing
list.
I'm +1 on dropping Java 7 support on master (2.0.0).
While porting clojure code to java 7, we needed to convert functional style
functions to for loop which is too verbose and hide intention. It also drops
productivity. We can do similar style by using Guava but it's more verbose, and
Guava is one of libraries I don't want to add as dependency. (Not only
storm-core, but also other modules.)
I'm not sure how much users are forced to not use Java 8. (This is common
concern of upgrading JDK version.) At now, Java 8 is over than 2 years ago, and
Oracle drop public support of JDK/JRE 7 1 year ago. Furthermore, Java 9 will be
released to next year. (actually planned to this year)
I'm also the one who need to take a deep look at Java 8, but I think the time
has come. Let's go for that.
Thanks,

Hi All,
Dropping java 7 support on master will allow us to use the new api in
Java 8 and since the master is being used for java migration its good to
make the decision now. Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Harsha
