Francisco Guerrero updated CASSSIDECAR-194:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: Deprecate Java 8 support for Sidecar Server (was: Deprecate Java
8 support for Server)
> Deprecate Java 8 support for Sidecar Server
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSSIDECAR-194
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSSIDECAR-194
> Project: Sidecar for Apache Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Francisco Guerrero
> Assignee: Francisco Guerrero
> Priority: Major
>
> The Sidecar server currently supports both Java 8 and Java 11. The official
> end of public updates for Java 8 was in January 2019. However, commercial
> support is available.
> I propose deprecating Java 8 support for the following reasons:
> - EOL for public updates as of January 2019
> - Many dependencies do not receive updates for Java 8 builds for multiple
> years and we are stuck on old dependency versions.
> - Inability to upgrade dependencies poses a security risk if a vulnerability
> is discovered in any of the libraries.
> - Better align with the newer versions of Cassandra where only Java 11 and
> Java 17 are supported.
> - Sidecar is built on top of vert.x, the next major version of vert.x will
> drop support for Java 8.
