Joey Frazee commented on NIFI-9188:
-----------------------------------
[~cemremengu] This was a conscious decision because so many users still have to
be on 1.8; see some of the discussion in NIFI-7717 and a mailing list thread on
2.0 goals [1, 2].
As you've noticed you can build a 11-based container image using official NiFi
releases which is the middle-ground we went for in NIFI-7717. A PR like you
submitted will almost certainly be needed for 2.0, so there's no reason to
close it, but it might not be merged for a while.

> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Since container uses binaries, and java 11 is backwards compatible is there
> any reason why the base image is `8-jre` ?
> I think it will be great to bump the java version so that we can both use
> better features and java 11 based custom processors.
