After several rounds of discussions[1][2], we finally decided to set the minimum supported java version for HBase 3.0.0+ to 17.
Notice that, we will keep HBase 2.x to work with both java 8, java 11 and java 17, so it is suggested to upgrade to use java 17 first on HBase 2.x, and then upgrade to HBase 3.x. If you have any questions/difficulties, feel free to contact us through mailing list and open jira issues. Thanks. -------- below are Chinese version 以下是中文版本 ------------ 经过多轮讨论[1][2]，我们最终决定将 HBase 3.0.0+ 的最小支持 java 版本设定为 17。 注意，我们会确保 HBase 2.x 版本在 java 8，java 11，java 17 下都能够运行，所以我们建议用户首先在 HBase 2.x 上升级为使用 java 17，然后再升级到 HBase 3.x。 如果你有任何问题或遇到任何困难，请随时使用邮件列表联系我们或者创建 jira issue 来描述具体的问题。 谢谢！ 1. https://lists.apache.org/thread/y0pc3n1go0t26hjnp53dwcnkfxhffqx5 2. https://lists.apache.org/thread/n5ln0g2cgq7qm4ryp2gqwdbfrnh0jkyb
