[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-4501) Support Java 9

Ismael Juma created KAFKA-4501:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Support Java 9
                 Key: KAFKA-4501
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4501
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ismael Juma
             Fix For: 0.10.2.0


Java 9 is scheduled to be released in July 2017. We should support it.

The new module system enforces access control and things like `setAccessible` cannot, by default, be used to circumvent access control in other modules. There are command-line flags available to disable the behaviour on a module by module basis.

Right now, Gradle fails with the latest Java 9 snapshot and Scala 2.12.1 is required if building with Java 9. So we are blocked until the Gradle issues are fixed.

I set the "Fix version" to 0.10.2.0, but it's likely to happen for the release after that.
