We are starting to test it internally in our cluster.
This is a broader hadoop issue. Note, Oracle's last public (free) release
of a Java 6 JRE will be towards the end of this year. After that, even
security updates will ONLY be available in a Java 7 JRE.

Last time I tried to run a Java 7 jar on a java 6 jvm, things blew up.
This suggests to me that before Pig can use Java 7, Hadoop has to be
able to (since hadoop spins out the jvm process that runs the pig
map/reduce jobs). Do you know if Hadoop can run on Java 7?

Yes, you have to install using the developer preview, but it is available
from the same place all other JRE's from Oracle are. [
There are some exciting new features in Java 7. However, realistically we
can't start using it until Hadoop does. I don't recall any discussion on it on
their list, though I may have missed it. But AFAIK they have no migration
plans at this time.

Sure,
probably Java7 is more mature than Pig.
However as far as I know it is a pain to install on Mac.
This is just one small example of not mature enough.
I am under the impression that Java7 not yet mainstream, correct me if I am
wrong.
I am fine with having optional performance improvements ena

What is the definition of "mature enough"?
I'd argue that out of Java 7, Hadoop, Avro, and Pig... Java 7 is the most
mature.

My personal opinion is Yes, if there is a compelling reason, but not now.
Still not mature enough.

Scott Carey brought Java 7 up in PIG-2643, and I think it's something we
need to think about. When do we want to start taking advantage of new
features that may not exist on Java 6? Do we ever?
