Hi ZooKeeper users, There's an ongoing discussion on the dev list about upgrading the required Java version to 1.8 on trunk and 3.5 branches.
We'd like to get some feedback from a bigger audience if anybody or any other component that is dependent on ZooKeeper has any concerns or objections against the change? I've quickly checked some of the major components that are heavy Zk clients: Hadoop/HDFS = 1.8 required HBase = 1.8 required Kafka = 1.7 required (has some 1.8 and 1.9 bindings) Hive = 1.8 required Curator = 1.7 required (has 1.8-only async module to take advantage of Java lambdas) Solr = 1.8 As always, your feedback is much appreciated. Thanks, Andor
