Michael Bieniosek commented on HADOOP-2325:
-------------------------------------------
Because java 6 (compiler + runtime) is not available under acceptable license
on all platforms, I think references to functions like File.getFreeSpace should
be done in a way that is backwards compatible with java 5. I suggest you put
all the references to java 6 functions in an optional jar, with fallback
methods for java 5 users.
> Require Java 6 for release 0.16.

> Hadoop performs much better on Java 6. And, finally, there are features of
> Java 6 (like 'df') that would be nice to use.
