Thomas Weise commented on APEXCORE-536:
---------------------------------------
We do have to worry about backward compatibility. I think it is safe to move to
2.6 but this is important enough of a change to discuss and take a vote.
> Upgrade Hadoop dependency

> Key: APEXCORE-536
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-536
> Project: Apache Apex Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Thomas Weise
> Labels: roadmap
>
> Currently Apex depends on Hadoop 2.2 and runs on all later 2.x version.
> Hadoop 2.2 is quite old, most Apex users have more recent Hadoop installs.
> Latest distro releases are based on 2.6 and 2.7. There are several important
> features that were added in Hadoop since 2.2 that Apex should be able to
> leverage.
