Shifting to Java 7 . Is it good choice?
Hi,
I have to tweak a few classes and for this I needed few packages which
are
only present in Java 7 like "java.nio.file" , So I was wondering If I can
shift my
development environment of Hadoop to Java 7? Would this break anything ?
Thanks

Here's the Apache Bigtop JIRA thats leading the Java 7 effort for all
components in the Hadoop eco-system:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-458. This may interest
you.

That was really helpful.
@Robert: No I am just working on a research project, I am not checking the
code into Hadoop.
Thanks Radim and Robert.

Oracle is dropping java 6 support by the end of the year. So there is
likely to be a big shift to java 7 before then. Currently Hadoop
officially supports java 6 so unless there is an official change of
position you cannot use Java 7 specific APIs if you want to check your
code into Hadoop. Hadoop currently should work on 7, like Radim said, and
if you are building something on top of Hadoop it is fine, but if we are
dropping support for java 6 that will require some discussion on the
mailing lists.

openjdk 7 works, but nio async file access is slower then traditional.
