Michael Bieniosek commented on HADOOP-2325: ------------------------------------------- > Do we believe that the licensing situation is likely to change in the near > future? I think we just have to wait for Apple to do an "official" 1.6 release for OSX. There was a lot of speculation that they would release shortly after OSX10.5 came out, but then they didn't. > Require Java 6 for release 0.17 > ------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2325 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2325 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Fix For: 0.17.0 > > > We should require Java 6 for release 0.17. Java 6 is now available for OS/X. > Hadoop performs much better on Java 6. And, finally, there are features of > Java 6 (like 'df') that would be nice to use. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
