Graduating JDK17 support for Cassandra 5.x from experimental to production ready

[Geremy Cohen <Ge...@arm.com>]

Hi, I was curious if there is a roadmap for graduating JDK17 support for Cassandra 5.x from experimental to production ready?

Thanks for bringing this up.  I've been meaning to for a while now.

I'm at the early stages of doing some testing of Java 11 G1GC vs 17 w/ G1GC
vs 17 w/ Shenandoah.  I plan on sharing my results with the wider
community, and if things look good I'll be proposing we remove the
experimental label.  I don't expect any potential issues, but you never
know.

If you want to run tests of your own (and I highly encourage it!), I've
recently improved easy-cass-lab [1] to be able to better support different
java versions for this purpose, and will do a release after the vote for
5.0.4 is complete, and I've squashed any bugs that pop up in my tests.
