Avery Ching commented on GIRAPH-847:
------------------------------------
If we have to support Java 6, we can't use any of the Java 7 features. Also,
Java 6 is no longer supported.

I build with Java 7 and haven't seen any unitests failures from trunk.
> Add back java 6 source compatibility

> Key: GIRAPH-847
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-847
> Project: Giraph
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Craig Muchinsky
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: GIRAPH-847.patch

>
> While I understand that java 7 is the default for Giraph now, I suspect there
> are some folks such as myself who are stuck with java 6 for the time being.
> It doesn't seem like Giraph is heavily taking advantage of java 7 features
> yet so it might be nice if the remainder of the 1.x releases keep java 6
> source compatibility (at least for graph-core). By my count there are only 6
> source files in giraph-core that use java 7 syntax.
