My apologizes, I thought we had a consensus already.

Thanks JB for sending the detailed notes about new stuff in 2.2.0! A lot of exciting things indeed.

Regarding Java 8: I thought our consensus was to have the release notes say that we're *considering* going Java8-only, and use that to get more opinions from the user community - but I can't find the emails that made me think so.

+Ismaël Mejía <mailto:[email protected]> - do you think we should formally conclude the vote on the thread [VOTE] [DISCUSSION] Remove support for Java 7? Or should we take more steps - e.g. perhaps tweet a link to that thread from the Beam twitter account, ask people to chime in, and wait for say 2 weeks before declaring a conclusion?

Let's also have a process JIRA for going Java8. I've filed one: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3285

    Just an important note that we forgot to mention.

    !! The 2.2.0 release will be the last one supporting Spark 1.x and Java 7 !!

    Starting from Beam 2.3.0, the Spark runner will work only with Spark 2.x 
and we
    will focus only Java 8.
