Erik Krogen commented on HADOOP-16219:
--------------------------------------
I'm not necessarily against this, but just to be clear, this flies directly in the face of
our compatibility guidelines by being an incompatible change in a minor version release, right?
> [JDK8] Set minimum version of Hadoop 2 to JDK 8

> Java 7 is long EOL; having branch-2 require it is simply making the release process a
pain (we aren't building, testing, or releasing on java 7 JVMs any more, are we?).
> Staying on java 7 complicates backporting, JAR updates for CVEs (hello Guava!) &c
are becoming impossible.
> Proposed: increment javac.version = 1.8
