Re: [DISCUSS] Java 8 as a minimum requirement

Hey Harsha, I noticed that you proposed that Storm should drop support for Java 7 in master: http://markmail.org/message/25do6wd3a6g7cwpe It's useful to know what other Apache projects are doing in this regard, so I'm interested in the timeline being proposed for Storm's transition. I could not

Re: [DISCUSS] Java 8 as a minimum requirement

Hi Ismael, thanks for the pointer to the latest WebSphere documentation - I wasn’t aware of that release. We currently have customers that run our software frontend on an older WebSphere version that runs on Java 7 and push data to kafka brokers in the backend. Replacing Kafka brokers wouldn’t

Re: [DISCUSS] Java 8 as a minimum requirement

-1 Hi Ismael, Although I really like the Java 8 features and understand the advantages you mentioned about Java 8 migration, I would suggest to stay with Java 7 as a minimum requirement for a while. I think there are two aspects to consider - Kafka Server and Kafka clients. On the server part it

Re: [DISCUSS] Java 8 as a minimum requirement

Hi Marcus, Thanks for your feedback. With regards to IBM WebSphere, the latest stable release (8.5.5) supports Java 8 according to the documentation: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27005002 Having said that, it is fair to discuss servers and clients separately. In Kafka, you c

Re: [DISCUSS] Java 8 as a minimum requirement

Hi Ismael, Unfortunately Java 8 doesn't play nice with FreeBSD. We have seen a lot of JVM crashes running our 0.9 brokers on Java 8... Java 7 on the other hand is totally stable. Until these issues have been addressed, this would cause some serious issues for us. Regards Jan

Re: [DISCUSS] Java 8 as a minimum requirement

Hi Jan, That's interesting. Do you have some references you can share on this? It would be good to know which Java 8 versions have been tested and whether it is something that is being worked on. Ismael On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 12:02 AM, wrote: > > Hi Ismael, > > Unfortunately Java 8 doesn't pl

Re: [DISCUSS] Java 8 as a minimum requirement

I definitely think its time, but I am not sure if 0.10.1.0 is the release version to drop support in. Would it make sense to drop Java 1.7 and Scala 2.10 support in Kafka 0.11 to maintain upgrade compatibility throughout the 0.10.x series? As a side note, I personally like the pattern of always s

Re: [DISCUSS] Java 8 as a minimum requirement

Would the move to Java 8 be for all modules? I'd have some concern about removing Java 7 compatibility for kafka-clients and for kafka streams (though less so since it's still so new). I don't know how hard it will be to transition a Scala 2.11 application to Scala 2.12. Are we comfortable with the

[DISCUSS] Java 8 as a minimum requirement

Hi all, I would like to start a discussion on making Java 8 a minimum requirement for Kafka's next feature release (let's say Kafka 0.10.1.0 for now). This is the first discussion on the topic so the idea is to understand how people feel about it. If people feel it's too soon, then we can pick up
