I think the problem is what people expect when we say "certified". To me, If I see something is certified with java 8, I would assume that I can use java 8 api(new features stream, lambda etc.) to write the operator code, not only just run the code with jre 8 or compile existing code with jdk 8 and run.
I did try some operator code with java 8 stream API and some lambda expression in some methods it works. I havn't tried any operators with new features in their non-transient properties. And also we should take a look to see if kryo fully works with java 8 classes/types Regards, Siyuan On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 9:34 AM, Munagala Ramanath <[email protected]> wrote: > You can use Java 8 but the source and target compatibility configuration > parameters in > your pom.xml for the maven-compiler-plugin still need to be 1.7 > > Ram > > On Wed, Oct 5, 2016 at 9:14 AM, Feldkamp, Brandon (CONT) < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> So is it safe to say that JDK 1.8 is supported to the same extent that >> 1.7 is? >> >> >> >> We’re not running into any issues currently (that I know of…feel free to >> chime back in Alex) but we’re making design decision and were curious about >> being able to use Java 8 features. >> >> >> >> Thanks! >> >> Brandon >> >> >> >> *From: *Vlad Rozov <[email protected]> >> *Organization: *DataTorrent >> *Reply-To: *"[email protected]" <[email protected]> >> *Date: *Monday, October 3, 2016 at 11:43 PM >> *To: *"[email protected]" <[email protected]> >> *Subject: *Re: Apex and Malhar Java 8 Certified >> >> >> >> We do test on Java 8 - both Apex Core and Malhar Apache Jenkins builds >> use JDK 1.8 to run tests. >> >> Thank you, >> >> Vlad >> >> On 10/3/16 15:45, Thomas Weise wrote: >> >> Apex is built against Java 7 and expected to work as is on Java 8 (Hadoop >> distros still support 1.7 as well).
