[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-9282) Document Java 7 support

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9282?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Steve Loughran updated HADOOP-9282:
-----------------------------------

    Summary: Document Java 7 support  (was: Java 7 support)

> Document Java 7 support
> -----------------------
>
>                 Key: HADOOP-9282
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9282
>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: documentation
>            Reporter: Kevin Lyda
>
> 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?
