Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-5261:
---------------------------------------
I've recently switched to testing JDK6 built artifacts on a JDK7 runtime and
have discovered no issues there. I can't comment on build issues but have not
seen runtime issues so far.
FWIW, I've not had success yet running HBase using the G1 GC. Always segfaults
within a few hours of operation.

> 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.
