[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-16219) [JDK8] Set minimum version of Hadoop 2 to JDK 8

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16219?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Steve Loughran updated HADOOP-16219:
------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix
        Status: Resolved  (was: Patch Available)

closing as WONTFIX; a move to java8 is pointless given java 11 is rapidly becoming the baseline

> Java 7 is long EOL; having branch-2 require it is simply making the release process a pain (we aren't building, testing, or releasing on java 7 JVMs any more, are we?). 
> Staying on java 7 complicates backporting, JAR updates for CVEs (hello Guava!) &c are becoming impossible.
> Proposed: increment javac.version = 1.8
