HAWQ PXF already supports Java 8. There were some Javadocs warnings that Alex fixed recently: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAWQ-1308
I believe we will need to do PL/Java changes at some point: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAWQ-935 (PL/java support for jdk 1.8) Are there other Java dependencies inside HAWQ that would need work?
