hi, While hbase may require java 1.6, it is possible that the client pieces don't. Right now we do one big build, so I'm not sure if there would be errors when building the thing under java 1.5. Perhaps you could let us know - many of the core devs do primary work on osx which no longer has java 1.5.
Good luck! -ryan On Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 8:47 PM, Ravi Kapoor <[email protected]> wrote: > I was trying to connect to hbase but I quickly ran into java version issues. > I understand that hbase needs JDK 1.6 but does the client also needs to be > 1.6?
