Hey Robert, As a first step, could we try switching all our precommit and nightly builds over to use 1.8? This is a prerequisite for HADOOP-11858, and safe to do in any case since it'll still target 1.7.
I'll note that HADOOP-10530 details the pain Steve went through switching us to JDK7. Might be some lessons learned about how to do this transition more smoothly.
