GitHub user hansva added a comment to the discussion: Are there any plans to officially support Java 21 in upcoming releases?
1) Yes, we have no builds or tests against Java 21, but as with most Java versions, it has very strong backwards compatibility. 2) As we can run pipelines in other engines such as Spark, Flink, and Dataflow, those platforms first need to support the required Java version or higher before our pipelines can be executed there. Our Java 17 upgrade was fully tested before we did an actual release because we had to wait for the engines to support it. 3) No, there are no plans. Java 17 EOL is planned for September 2027. We still have 2 years to decide what we will do 4) We will only be using LTS releases, but we might not follow the path you have painted out. Depending on what other projects decide, it could be that 21 is being skipped, and we will move from 17 -> 25. Mainly to avoid having to do another upgrade/test only a year after the move to 21. I think I have seen other projects think about this.
