Prashant Sharma updated SPARK-5475:
-----------------------------------
Issue Type: Bug (was: Wish)
> Java 8 tests are like maintenance overhead.
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-5475
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5475
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Prashant Sharma
>
> Having tests that validate the same code compatible with java 8 and java 7 is like asserting that java 8 is backward compatible with java 7 and still supports java 8 features(lambda expressions to be precise). This was once necessary as asm was not compatible with java 8 and so on.
> Running java8-tests on the current code base results in more than 100 compilation errors, it felt as if they are never run. This is based on the fact that compilation errors have existed for a pretty long period. So IMHO, we should really remove them, if we don't plan to maintain.
> Thoughts?
