Sean Busbey commented on HADOOP-16219:
--------------------------------------
Did a discussion happen on common-dev?
I did not see an answer to "eol from who". Red Hat is just one vendor. The
openjdk7 updates project is still active. Oracle still sells extended support
for jdk7 through July 2022. Azul systems sells jdk7 support through July 2023.

> 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
