["Aaron T. Myers (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9282?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13784847#comment-13784847 ] 

Aaron T. Myers commented on HADOOP-9282:
----------------------------------------

We (Cloudera) have been running all of the Hadoop tests and more on Java 7 for some time, and to my knowledge have found no actual issues. A fair number of test failures, but all of those have been spurious, and we've been working through fixing them as we find them.

> The Hadoop Java Versions page makes no mention of Java 7.
> http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HadoopJavaVersions
> Java 6 is EOL as of this month ( http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_6.xml ) and that's after extending the date twice: https://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/java_6_eol_h_h While Oracle has recently released a number of security patches, chances are more security issues will come up and we'll be left running clusters we can't patch if we stay with Java 6.
> Does Hadoop support Java 7 and if so could the docs be changed to indicate that?
