Kevin Lyda created HADOOP-9282: ---------------------------------- Summary: Java 7 support Key: HADOOP-9282 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9282 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: documentation Reporter: Kevin Lyda
The Hadoop Java Versions page makes no mention of Java 7. http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HadoopJavaVersions Java 6 is EOL as of this month ( http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_6.xml ) and that's after extending the date twice: https://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/java_6_eol_h_h While Oracle has recently released a number of security patches, chances are more security issues will come up and we'll be left running clusters we can't patch if we stay with Java 6. Does Hadoop support Java 7 and if so could the docs be changed to indicate that? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
