[QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

Hi,

In the context of deployment of CloudStack with VPCs,
What will happen to a cloud when upgrading to 4.10 that now use jdk8?

Does upgrading the management-server to 4.10 jdk8 and then keep the old VRs
run for a while that run on JDK7 will still work ?

Because If we upgrade the management-server to jdk8, we need to keep VR to
work until they get upgraded but we can't force an upgrade of VR just
because the management-server is now using JDK8.

Thanks,

Are any Java enhancements being added to common libraries that would 
force the Client side to have to run Java 8?
Would running Java 7 cause any library to need to be available in 2 
versions?

You can run code compiled by the java 1.7 or 1.6 or earlier SDKs on a 
Java 8 JVM.

This gets you the improved speed of the Java 8 JVM even if you do not 
rebuild the code.

If this was not true, life would be chaos when you upgraded your Java on 
a production server.
All of the code that ran a few minutes ago would fail.

Think about how much java is running on a typical data centre. You would 
have heard the howls of pain if all that code suddenly stopped running.

It should be easy to test the existing jars compiled with earlier 
version of java on a machine running the Java 8 JVM.
Just replace the Java and restart the server.

A reasonable migration path is to replace the JVM and continue to run 
existing code.
Upgrade the code at your leisure.

An application can be constructed from Jars from different SDKs.
I had no trouble with the dozens of Apache and third party libraries 
that make up my application when I changed my compiler to Java 8.
One minute I was compiling and testing with Java 7 and the next minute I 
was compiling with Java 8 and the code still worked with all of the same 
third party jars.

No source code changes where required in any code to upgrade.
Since then, I have incorporated  Java 8 features into most of our code 
but that is not really part of this discussion.

I hope that this helps.

Ron

Re: [QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

Posted by Marc-Aurèle Brothier <ma...@exoscale.ch>.
No there isn't any issue except having the bugs & fixes of the JDK you're
using. You can compile it with a JDK 1.8 as long as you don't change the
target bytecode version for 1.7

Marco,

Good point. Is there any issue if we compile code with jdk8 but run it on
jdk7 (systemvm) ?

Re: [QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

Posted by Marc-Aurèle Brothier <ma...@exoscale.ch>.
There's a list of compatibility issues between Java 7 & Java 8 here
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8-compatibility-guide-2156366.
html

The main problem I would see in two system communicating while running
different Java version is the way they handle serialization and
de-serialization of objects which had been a problem in the past between
some Java versions. AFAIK we're using JSON for that now, so if the code
already compiles with Java8, it should not be a problem.

Re: [QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

Posted by Wei ZHOU <us...@gmail.com>.
@Will and @Syed, I build the packages of 4.9.2+systemd patches on ubuntu
16.04 (openjdk 8).
Then install the packages to management server and kvm hosts (all are
ubuntu 16.04 with openjdk8).
The systemvm template is 4.6 with openjdk7.

cpvm and ssvm work fine.

As there is no java process in VR, so I did not check, VR should not be
impacted.

Re: [QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

Posted by Pierre-Luc Dion <pd...@cloudops.com>.
That's quite interesting Chiradeep!

so I could do something like this I guest:

mvn clean install

and then this one to build the systemvm.iso:
mvn -Psystemvm -source 1.7 -target 1.7 install


I'll give it a try! but for now, I'm worried about existing VR, they must
continue to work while running on jdk7.  newer VPC would be ok to run with
jdk8.  but we need to make sure while upgrading the management-server we
are not in the obligation to upgrade VR's.

For sure it is required for strongswan + JDK8 to ugprade the VR, but a
 existing VR should remain usable for port forwarding, vm creation and
such...

I'll post my finding...

Thanks !

Re: [QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

Posted by Chiradeep Vittal <ch...@gmail.com>.
You can build the system vm with  -source 1.7 -target 1.7 
Also unless you are using Java8 features (lambda) the classfiles produced by javac 8 should work in a 1.7 JVM

Re: [QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

yes, that is what I was expecting.  which is why I was asking about Wei's
setup because he seems to have worked around that problem.  Or he has a
custom SystemVM template running with both JDK7 and JDK8.

Re: [QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

The problem is that systemvm.iso is built with java 8 whereas java on the
VR is java 7

Re: [QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

Did it work after resetting a VPC or when blowing away the SSVM or CPVM?  I
would not expect the SSVM or the CPVM to come up if the management server
was built with JDK8 and the system vm template is only using JDK7.  Can you
confirm?​

Re: [QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

Posted by Wei ZHOU <us...@gmail.com>.
We've tested management server 4.7.1 with ubuntu 16.04/openjdk8 and
systemvm 4.6 with debian7/openjdk7.
The systemvms (ssvm, cpvm) work fine.

I agree we need consider the openjdk upgrade in systemvm template.

Re: [QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

Regarding my question. Is it because of the version of Java that the
systemvm.iso is built on?

Re: [QUESTION] Upgrade path to JDK8

A question that is hidden in here is:
- Why does the JDK version on the management server have to match the JDK
version of the System VM?
