[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-8168) Require Java 8

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8168?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14538766#comment-14538766 ] 

Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-8168:
----------------------------------------------

With Java 7 being EOL *already*, an intermediate 2.2 release happening, and a wide consensus in the mailing list in favor of doing the switch, I'm relabeling the ticket as 3.0beta1.

> This is to discuss requiring Java 8 for version >= 3.0  
> There are a couple big reasons for this.
> * Better support for complex async work  e.g (CASSANDRA-5239)    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/CompletableFuture.html
> * Use Nashorn for Javascript UDFs CASSANDRA-7395
