Java 8

[Stefan Podkowinski <st...@1und1.de>]

Hi

Are there any plans to support Java 8 for Cassandra 2.0, now that Java 7 is EOL?
Currently Java 7 is also recommended for 2.1. Are there any reasons not to recommend Java 8 for 2.1?

Thanks,
Stefan

DSE 4.6.5 supports Java 8 (
http://docs.datastax.com/en/datastax_enterprise/4.6/datastax_enterprise/RNdse46.html?scroll=RNdse46__rel465)
and DSE 4.6.5 is Cassandra 2.0.14 under the hood.

I would go with 8

The official recommendation is to run with Java7 (
http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/install/installJREabout_c.html),
mostly to play it safe I guess, however you can probably already run C*
with Java8, since it has been stable for a while. We've been running with
Java8 for several months now without any noticeable problem.

Regarding source compatibility, the official plan is compile with Java8
starting from version 3.0. You may find more information on this ticket:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8168
