Prashant Sharma created SPARK-5475:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Java 8 tests are like maintenance overhead.
Key: SPARK-5475
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5475
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Prashant Sharma
Having tests that validate the same code compatible with java 8 and java 7 is
like asserting that java 8 is backward compatible with java 7 and still
supports java 8 features(lambda expressions to be precise). This was once
necessary as asm was not compatible with java 8 and so on.
Running java8-tests on the current code base results in more than 100
compilation errors, it felt as if they are never run. This is based on the fact
that compilation errors have existed for a pretty long period. So IMHO, we
should really remove them, if we don't plan to maintain.
Thoughts?
