Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-5261: -------------------------------------- Unless anybody has anything else left, I'd say we close it. > Update HBase for Java 7 > ----------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5261 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5261 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Umbrella > Reporter: Mikhail Bautin > Assignee: Mikhail Bautin > > We need to make sure that HBase compiles and works with JDK 7. Once we verify > it is reasonably stable, we can explore utilizing the G1 garbage collector. > When all deployments are ready to move to JDK 7, we can start using new > language features, but in the transition period we will need to maintain a > codebase that compiles both with JDK 6 and JDK 7. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
