Folks, With hadoop-2.6 out it's time to think ahead.
As we've discussed in the past, 2.6 was the last release which supports JDK6. I'm thinking it's best to try get 2.7 out in a few weeks (maybe by the holidays) with just the switch to JDK7 (HADOOP-10530) and possibly support for JDK-1.8 (as a runtime) via HADOOP-11090. This way we can start with the stable base of 2.6 and switch over to JDK7 to allow our downstream projects to use either for a short time (hadoop-2.6 or hadoop-2.7). I'll update the Roadmap wiki accordingly.
