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. 1. https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rd681f24ef919ed8705e4b4642cc0f69f3f69acbee415e9604250cc80%40%3Cdev.nifi.apache.org%3E 2. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/NiFi+2.0+Proposed+Release+Goals > Upgrade docker base image to 11-jre > ----------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-9188 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9188 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Docker > Reporter: Cemre Mengu > 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. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
