Totally agreed. Since Parquet can already be compiled with Java 7 (and it has long been since Java 6 is EOL), it seems like it's time to move.

> I am having problems building the latest master with Java 6. I tried building the whole project 
> {noformat}mvn clean install -DskipTests{noformat}
>  and I also tried building individual modules 
> {noformat}mvn --projects parquet-common -am -amd -U clean install -DskipTests{noformat}
> Both fail with the same error shown below. SemanticVersion class uses Integer.compare(int,int) which was introduced in Java 1.7, but, AFAIK and according to the pom file (and to PARQUET-146) Parquet should still be built using Java 6. Similarly TestInputOutputFormatWithPadding and TestInputOutputFormat classes depend on java.nio.file package that was introduced in Java 1.7
> When I switch over to Java 7 the build succeeds.
