Ten development with Java 8

[Oleg Zhurakousky <oz...@hortonworks.com>]

Guys, forgive the shameless plug, but with new language features comes new possibilities, so if you are developing application in Tez and are on Java 8, you may want to look at DStream - https://github.com/hortonworks/dstream effort and DStream-Tez-RI - https://github.com/hortonworks/dstream/tree/master/dstream-tez
It is still in early stages but fairly well documented, so would be interesting to gather thoughts, opinions and issues.
To get started quickly, there is a template project with both Maven and Gradle pre-configured which also includes tez-site.xml - https://github.com/hortonworks/dstream/tree/master/dstream-dev-template. Just clone, import and play.
The tez-site.xml comes pre-configured with local mode, but with few changes you can point to you existing cluster without any changes to code and/or deployment procedures (directly from IDE). Sample configurations for remote submissions could be found in dstream-tez project itself.

Cheers
Oleg
