@felixcheung I create this PR because Cassandra server version 3.0 is using
Java 8. Right now, some of the features of the Cassandra interpreter cannot be
tested because it requires pulling the server and so requires using Java 8 for
the integration test.
In general, all the drivers that work at client side are still staying
under Java 7 or even Java 6. But on the server side, it's not a problem to ask
for Java 8 (because officially Java 7 is no longer supported). Since Zeppelin
is a server technology, it's not that a big deal.
However it's not an urgent matter, so I'm fine if we do not switch to Java
8 right now.
Maybe we need some feedback from the community
