Hi all, I have been working on Netty + SSL and one of the changes I do is change outgoingQueue to be LinkedBlockingDeque, which requires JDK 6.
As Flavio (fpj) and Patrick (phunt) suggested, there are JIRAs discussing JDK7: ZOOKEEPER-2046, ZOOKEEPER-1963. It seems many people are interested in an upgrade to JDK 7. As we know, JDK 6 stops public updates. Making JDK 7 the minimum of ZooKeeper going forward will drive us up-to-date and less work on supporting older versions of JDK. I am raising this topic here to gather public responses. The question is simple: should we make JDK 7 the minimum support version? Your advice, ideas, suggestions are highly welcome and appreciated! -- *- Hongchao Deng* *Software Engineer*
