> We need to make sure that HBase compiles and works with JDK 7. Once we verify it is reasonably stable, we can explore utilizing the G1 garbage collector. When all deployments are ready to move to JDK 7, we can start using new language features, but in the transition period we will need to maintain a codebase that compiles both with JDK 6 and JDK 7.
