Source and target are set to 1.6 to ensure backward compatibility for those who, for whatever reason, need to use Java 1.6.
1. Yes, Storm is compatible with JDK 7. 2. No. 3. I imagine this will happen at some point. But there’s nothing to stop you from running Storm with JDK 7. 4. No restriction. For now we do not rely on any JDK 7-specific features, so providing backward compatibility with 1.6 is a no-brainer. 5. Storm binary releases are compatible with JDK 6 and 7, both Oracle and OpenJDK. There’s no need to recompile. - Taylor On Jul 14, 2014, at 8:11 AM, Veder Lope <add...@gmail.com> wrote: > Storm is a great project!!!
