[jira] [Commented] (GEODE-479) Bump Java Language level to 1.8

["Christian Tzolov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-479?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15113908#comment-15113908 ] 

Christian Tzolov commented on GEODE-479:
----------------------------------------

This change breaks all dependent projects that still require 1.7 target.  For example Zeppelin Geode Interpreter requires java 7: 
[ZEPPELIN-375].  Note that although marked as resolved the [ZEPPELIN-375] has practically disabled the Zeppelin Geode support.

IMO there are two options to resolve this:

1. (re)set the geode java target back to 1.7 (source can remain 1.8). ~markito are there a blocking requirements that demand java 1.8 target? 
2. Have a parallel 1.7 branch/build that can be resolved from the maven repository with (different artifact name or version). 

Let me know what do you think?
