You didn't address this message to me, but in Druid most of the work for
Java 9+ compatibility is mentioned in this master issue, which you might
find helpful: https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/issues/5589.
Skimming the list, these might be particularly relevant to DataSketches:

- https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/pull/7487 (cleaner operations)
- https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/pull/7466 (ByteBuffer unmap
operation)
- https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/pull/7576 (Remove direct
references to Unsafe)

Btw, it would be better, I think, to address emails to the list at large.
It encourages more people to participate. If Roman is a subscriber he would
get a copy anyway. If not, you could encourage him to subscribe.
