--------------------------------------

Proposed patche(s):

https://asterix-gerrit.ics.uci.edu/#/c/274/

I think the thing to note here though is that my patch doesn't actually require JDK8. It just targets to the highest available JDK version. On my local machine that's 8, on the build server right now that's 7. If we want to force 8 I can do that without much trouble, just by tweaking the profile activations.

> We should move both Hyracks and AsterixDB to Java 8. 
> Java 7 is not updated anymore [1] and I think that there's no customer/user that needs run on Java 7. 
> Also, I'd really like to use lambdas :)
