That's just the Oracle 'commercial' JDK though. OpenJDK is still OSS
and 8 is updated there too. Oracle JDK is still free too, just not for
commercial use and commercial support for 8 (IIUC). I think that's the
'audience' here, and I don't know how large or small that is.
That said a key first
So I'm not a lawyer, but looking at the JDK8 License FAQ (
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/oracle-jdk-faqs.html )
makes me feel like we should support folks who are on the 2.x branch and
want to migrate away from JDK8. Although the Redhat post about OpenJDK8 is
reassuring (
Spark 3 will not require Java 11; it will work with Java 8 too. I
think the question is whether someone who _wants_ Java 11 should have
a 2.x release instead of 3.0.
In practice... how much are people moving off Java 8 right now? It's
still my default, because most but not all things work with
Not a contributor, but a user perspective…
As Spark 3.x will be an evolution, I am not completely shocked that it would
imply a Java 11 requirement as well. Would be great to have both Java 8 and
Java 11, but one needs to be able to say goodbye. Java 8 is great, still using
it actively in
I think one of the key problems here are the required dependency
upgrades. It would mean many minor breaking changes and a few bigger
ones, notably around Hive, and forces a scala 2.12-only update. I
think my question is whether that even makes sense as a minor release?
it wouldn't be backwards

Hello everyone,
Thank you all for working on supporting JDK11 in Apache Spark 3.0 as a
community.
Java 8 is already end of life for commercial users, and many companies are
moving to Java 11.
The release date for Apache Spark 3.0 is still not there yet, and there are
many API
