[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-8241) Use javac instead of javassist

Robert Stupp created CASSANDRA-8241:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Use javac instead of javassist
                 Key: CASSANDRA-8241
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8241
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Robert Stupp
            Assignee: Robert Stupp
             Fix For: 3.0
         Attachments: udf-java-javac.txt

Using JDK's built-in Java-Compiler API has some advantages over javassist.

Although compilation feels a bit slower, Java compiler API has some advantages:
* boxing + unboxing works
* generics work
* compiler error messages are better (or at least known) and have line/column numbers

The implementation does not use any temp files. Everything's in memory.

Patch attached to this issue.
