FYI, I updated Solr to use Hadoop 2.7.4. Thanks!

> You cannot use any pre-Hadoop 2.8 component anymore with the latest release candidate build of Java 9, because it fails with an StringIndexOutOfBoundsException in {{org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell#<clinit>}}. This leads to a whole cascade of failing classes (next in chain is StringUtils).
> The reason is that the release candidate build of Java 9 no longer has "-ea" in the version string and the system property "java.version" is now simply "9". This causes the following line to fail fatally:
> {code:java}
>   private static boolean IS_JAVA7_OR_ABOVE =
>       System.getProperty("java.version").substring(0, 3).compareTo("1.7") >= 0;
> {code}
> Analysis:
> - This code looks wrong, as comparing a version this way is incorrect.
> - The {{substring(0, 3)}} is not needed, {{compareTo}} also works without it, although it is still an invalid way to compare a version.
