> I know a lot of Spark and Flink users run on Java 17. this is valuable feedback! > this was not an issue, probably because code compiled with old Java typically runs fine on newer version JVMs. of course! but apparently there often are issues as was pointed out in https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/10477#discussion_r1633990025 > Hence we choose the older Java version for released binary. We can use newer JDK and utilize `--target` to create release binary compatible with older Java version, or continue to use older Java version for producing the release. Both approaches have pros and cons and here I don't want to change how we do releases. > I would also echo @Fokko 's concern on CI resources. it will be great if we can drop Java 8 from CI matrix. Re dropping 8 -- i am fully supportive, but not my call. Re resources -- yes, obviously, and I agree. Is this a "blocker concern" or "i wish there were no downsides" type of concern? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
